S-Boot but whats it trying to be?

[Blue Yeti]

Hi Guys

I noticed this online whilst surfing and reading up on various examples and am presuming its bad as I don't recognise (and can't quite read) the makers name. Can anyone add what exactly it is (or what its supposed to be ( an S&L??)), in terms of being real or a copy of a known type?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

this one is a cast fake with fantasy maker mark.
Mark is Friedrich Keller, Oberstein. Who never made the
s-boot abzeichen.

To answer your question more specific i think it's a casting of the first model Schwerin in a flatback design. Just bogus

Interesting to see. Here's a fake BB posted a few months ago with presumably the same mark.

I also agree, it's a fake

Here's another fake in the Keller "series".

And two past postings of the "Keller" S-Boat fake:

And two more in the "Keller" series from the other forums: Para and PAB. It looks like the entire series may have been based upon S&L designs.

Another in the "Keller" series.

A different Pilot/Observer fake with a different "Keller" mark which we'll call the "Type 2" mark.

An old "Cyclops" fake with the "Type 2" Keller mark. (And the same type of fake marked "BSW" as an added bonus. )

And two more in the "Keller" series from the other forums: Para and PAB. It looks like the entire series may have been based upon S&L designs.

Another Paratrooper fake with the Type 1 "Keller" mark.
