Hi mayhem_z,
Sorry to say but I do not like your badge very much. It does not really look like 1A or 2A variation - see pinned timeline thread here: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=264589
Obverse details look weak, hinge seems to be too wide and base metal looks odd to me.
I enclose my 1A variation for comparison.
Cheers,
Hubert
The badge at the start of this thread does not look like a Schwerin. It looks to me like one of the Frank & Reif U-boat fakes that has been given a Schwerin marking. Not one for me!
Just uploading "mayem-Z"s images from the host server.
And here's the link from 2007 on the Frank & Reif fakes: Frank & Reif U-boat badges
Definitely the same culprit.
