My New Schwerin U-boat Badge

[Jody]

Hi folks,
Here is my new schwerin U-boat badge. I didn't need another one, but I got a great deal on it. The badge has a wire catch and is hallmarked.

Here it is. I took these pictures with a home movie camera so I am sorry for the blurry images. My question is this, is this the earliest type produced by Schwerin Berlin? I believe the other example I own is the 2nd pattern.
Regards,
Jody

Some more. I don't know if you can see it, but the solder for the catch is black, which is typical.

Great U-boat badges

Hi Guys,
Thank for the compliments and Yuri you have a great badge. The U-boat is one of my favorites. I got the one U-boat the other day from a very good friend for under $300. I had to go for it.

Hey Terrence, are you moving back to Tucson, AZ? If so we need to get to together. My in-laws live in Green Valley.

Here is the document I wish to display my new U-boat badge with. The age and date on the document and the the early quality of my new U-boat badge will make a nice combination when frammed together. I will keep the nicer mintier 2nd pattern with my other KM badges.
Regards,
Jody
