Yes! Very bad fake. Not even close.

Just uploading the photo of the badge Andjelo posted from the host server.
Also, I'd mention that although it's not even remotely close to a Schwerin and both the hardware and maker mark easily show it to be fake, it's actually a pretty well-made fake of a Deumer Tombak U-Boat as far as the planchet goes. Outlines are off, but material and obverse design are disturbingly well done on these copies. Totally messed up on hardware and marking of course.

Deumer? I think you mean Hymmen?
The Cave Creek Specials were also based on this propeller-less design - and that's what this looks like, a Cave Creek Special with variant hardware.

Just what I thought.
Still learning, though, so I'm not into all variants.
It's here, just to mention:

Horrible hardware
They could have made a decent reproduction if they chose to use halfway decent hardware on this. When will Reprofiteers ever learn.Comment

never
Hopefully Never
although there have been some valiant tries.

Hi Mike,Originally posted by Mike Kenny View Post
No, I meant the Deumer. It's just that the Deumer and Hymmen designs are so similar. I think the fake is based upon the Deumer.
