    High seas fleet - opinions?

    I love these badges and I'm looking to get my first in a trade deal where this one is up for grabs. However, it is among many bad fakes that I have spotted from the same collection, and I don't want to get burned. I like what I see but this is not my area of expertise.

    Please share your thoughts on this one!

    Regards,
    Finn

      Hi Finn,

      It looks like a genuine zincer with a decent amount of finish remaining.

      Regards

      Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

      If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!

            I like it too. A nice, zinc Schwerin HSF.

                    That's the typical look of the right mast arm in the zinc version of Schwerin's Fleet badge. There appears to have been a problem with the trimming stamp in that area by the time of zinc production.

                    Best regards,

                      Interesting! I only have an early, vet estate acquired example which doesn’t display this characteristic. So this effect typically only appears on later, zinc examples?
