Destroyer Badges for Review & Opinions

[coyotecolo]

I purchased this family collection of medals from the son, nephew, & grandson of the medal recipients. He has provided me with the name of his father who served as a gunnery officer on the battle ship "Friedich Inn" and was awarded these destroyer medals. One has been denazified and the other has not. Please give opinions on these badges please, I will post the Luftwaffe badge for review in the appropriate area of the site.
Thanks again for the help.

Last pictue of Destroyer Badges for review

Hi coyotecolo,

They're both fine, the de-nazified zinc JFS with a lot of zinc pest and the hard-worn Tombak Schickle missing its main pin, but with the original catch and hinge. Nice little piece of history:

Nice badges guys and great grouping coyotecolo.

Interesting to se a LW gunner badge there.

Have a nice day.

All real nice stuff! Too bad about the de-nazified JFS Destroyer Badge and the two DRL Sport Badges, but still nice items all the same. I really like the three-place medal bar with the Bremen Hanseatic Cross.

Best regards,
Tom

denazified

I know, but it's lucky that they all aren't denazified as the family immigrated to the US in 1949, it's fortunate that they survived at all.
Thanks for all of the great comments.
The grandfather fought in ww1 and ww2 and was awarded the 3 place medal bar, the wound badge and the 25 year medal, the uncle was awarded the Luftwaffe medal, and his father the destroyer medals.
These have been in the family until now.

Destroyer Badge Value?

What would the value be of these two Destroyer badges? I'm thinking of putting them up on E Stand.

Thanks for the input.
