U-boot kriegsabzeichen

[romulada]

Hello, this is my beginning collection of Kriegsmarine badges. After a few bad experiments to buy any nice examples from internet auction - I decided to stop this way. I contacted really trustworthy vintage military shops in Czech republic and Germany and this is the result:

First one is unmarked zinc variant - if somebody have an idea, who is the maker? I will be happy!

The second one is F.C.Zimmermann in very nice condition
and the third one is most known Schwerin Berlin - in good condition.

I really like these badges, I saw very nice examples on this forum and I hope, that my collection will grow up!


P.S.:I am apologize for my english-I know, that is not good enough!

Hi Boris,
I agree with Daniel, very nice trio
First one is zinc Steinhauer & Lück with “Deumer-like” reverse hardware.

Hi Boris,

Welcome to KM! Good to read you have persisted with collecting and your research has paid off - I can only agree with Damiel and Hubert that you have a great start with the 3 very nice U-boat badges presented.

Regards
Mike

PS: your English is fine - way better than my Czech (which for the record is non-existent)!

Hi Andy, as far as I know attribution to Zimmermann was made based on all four swaz arms being cut out as in Boris badge. Yours is attributed to Mayer - since upper swaz arm is uncut.

Hi, Hubert - I agree with you, although I am not an expert, but I checked it in german publication.
Two more photos from yesterdays evening.

Boris,

This is in fact considered a C.F. Zimmerman by collectors due to the 4 arms being cut out.

Nice badge as is the Mayer posted by Andy.
