    U-Boat Schwerin Fake

    HI all, I am pretty sure this is fake, a friend sent it to me, maker mark looks wrong, eagle head wrong, and chest wrong, also the deck at the rear, it has a good gilt look that does not show in the photos, please confirm or deny, my friend felt certain it was good and I hate to break the bad news, thanks, John

      For sure

      For sure it is a fake. Eagle's beak is a dead giveaway along with the catch

                This might be helpful. The correct mark is on the far right, the small and medium are most probably post war additions and in these two cases usually associated with period badges by non-Schwerin manufacturers as opposed to an outright fake badge with a fake stamp as that posted in this thread.

                Norm discussed this in detail in the SB thread on their U-boat badges pinned above:

                      Hi everybody, thank you for the great info.

                      I am going to send this thread to my friend so that he can show it to the fellow that he obtained the badge from.

                      @Norm and John the links are very very informative.
