Hi Lillegutt. They both look good to me, with correct hinge, pin and catch assemblies. Both badges have well-struck details that match to known SHuCo Destroyer badges. My guess is that they are different production runs with different reverse dies....or maybe the reverse die "slipped", similar to what is seen on Schwerin HSF badges with the marks in different locations.

Hi Lorenzo !
Yupp ! I think both badges are good . They are both like when I compare them , exept makers mark . I can`t find anything wrong with one of them . But I like to compare badges that are "different" and get inputs from other Collector`s .
Both Destroyer Badges are from I own Collection .

I've seen Souval-marked (RS) KM badges where the "S" is actually partially off the badge -- in space! Is this the reason for this phenomenon?

Dear all,

the badge at the picture looks excatly like the ones i have in my collection. Unfortunetaly i am not able to post a picture because the badges are in the banks safe.

But i have a question: Are there any known reproductions of this marker known which looks nearly like the original ?

Thanks in advance for all replies ,
Christian
