Schwerin High seas badge. Authentic or not?

Hello,

recently I got this badge, which I think is original, but would also like someone to take a look into it and judge.

Thanks!

It's original, but not sure what happened to the finish or if there was any to begin with.

Looks like the ones that were found on the Tirpitz wreck lately.

I was going to say that too ... quite possibly they are making their way into the market as singles now.

I agree, most likely one of the Tirpitz HSFs

I agree, looks very similar to the Tirpitz ones previously posted

Nice to hear that. I just love those large KM ships and also collect photos of them. Now this one can go into one special Tirpitz display ;-)

I will, however, try to digg around where did this one came from to Croatia.

The price was not too high, around 200 Eur, at least I think it's worth that much.

I'm happy now

I just checked, and it's not magnetic at all.
