Looks very good! A rare find.

Nice original Paul congrats.


Personaly I'm convinced that this Hymmen design was also used for the dubious hollow U-Boot. However I still have difficulties believing that these hollow U-boots might be OK for the simple reason that you can find the same Hymmen design on other massive marked and unmarked U-boot copies.

Here is such a hollow badge.

Thanks Frank and Philippe,I'm really pleased with this badge.It was advertised as an unmarked badge.I thought I recognised the maker so I was delighted when I saw the maker mark when it arrived!Cheers once again,
