Hello Craig,

Yes maybe TODAY for an attributed one, but in 2001/2002 the middle market price for one without attribution was 15.000 Euros/US Dollars.

Hi Mike,

A fantastic piece of history for someone if it is 100%. I would love to collect all of the diamond badges, wow what a collection that would be, imagine if money was no object! One day...

All the best,

Craig maybe we can go half each.

Hi Trent,

Oddly enough I was just looking the price up in Detlev's book, it is only 20,000 euros, it's cheaper than we thought!
OK, but can we keep it at my house?

Greetings,
Gentlemen. You have broken my heart. This seemed like such an obvious next acquisition. And so reasonably priced at $9 opening bid. Well, I will save my pocket change, because there are rumors about a jewel inlaid pilot’s badge recently unearthed at a former LW airfield in Poland. I hear it is in “like new” condition.
Best Regards,

Chris,

You have to be careful with any badge these days and anything with a diamond in it, has 99.7% (if not higher) chance of being a reproduction. Before buying anything please post pictures here first, if it looks new, it probably is....

The 'Cremer' U-Boot badge with diamonds is not an original one.

The U-Boat badge with Diamonds came in a blue box with raised plinth.
