U Boat Badge Maker

[münster]

Hi

I cannot find it in the database, I do notice the stippled lines in between swastika arms. Does anyone know this maker?




Thank You

Hi Dion,

Yes indeed, an RK (whether Karneth or not remains unknown). The "RK in circle" mark on this variant with the crimped catch is often very faint and hard to see in contrast to the well-defined mark on the version with the cast-in catch.

Looks like a good worn example, but for this type of badge it's better to get sharp closeups of both the catch and the hinge with the pin up to be sure.

Best regards,
---Norm
