Agree. And it's nice to see this unusual combination of the dome-head hinge pin with the flat-based catch. Usually the dome-head hinge pin is paired with the "C"-shaped catch and the waffle-head hinge pin with the flat-based catch so this one is intermediate between the two and less common. (Such details are of no interest to most collectors and doesn't affect value but interesting to those who study Schwerin production.)

Best regards,

I can see why Caidos asked for opinions about the welds. It almost looks like there are round plates under the catch and top hook, but I'm sure that is just solder, pooled in a circular pattern.

Very nice Schwerin Destroyer Badge.

Best regards,

Nice example. Still looking for one to my collection.
