Nice Destroyer

[Emeredato]

Hi Gents,
that one came from a private purcase. Former owner was Kapitänleutnant of the Kriegsmarine and the Soldbuch survived the war. He also worked for the GMSA until Dec. 1945.

Agree. Sometimes found marked L/18 by Mayer. This one is classified as Variation 1 in the KM Awards books.

Just to be clear, the Errata tables and extra badges in Volume III changed the numbering system so that Sascha's badge is actually Variation 4:

Volume III, page 64 - Variation 1 (marked, round-wire catch L/15 by Otto Schickle)
Volume III, page 68 - Variation 2 (unmarked, sheet metal catch variant)
Volume I, page 206 - Variation 3 (marked L/18 by B.H. Mayer)
Volume I, page 208 - Variation 4 (unmarked, round-wire catch)
Volume III, page 72 - Three other setup variants shown in a compilation of reverse views

So there are five different setup variations of unmarked badge (setups that are also found on other Schickle products) but only one setup (with the round-wire catch like Sascha's) has appeared with the L/15 and L/18 marks.

Best regards,

I know, I stated it in a rather confusing way. I meant that this is Variation One minus the maker mark. Var. 4 would have been clearer. Thanks.

Think it means D.A. for "Dienstauszeichnung 4 Jahre"
