U-Boat Badge for Review

[nathanhogle]

Hi Guys,
I would really appreciate if you could take a look at this one for me. I believe it is an attempt at a Schwerin yet I would like to see the black solder marks around the catch and hinge and I also had a few other concerns, so here I am. Thanks again for all your help!

Not Good

Sorry to say Nathan it is not a good one. Although the obverse looks promising the pin and catch are dead giveaways and the beak is bent. I think it is maybe a cyclops fake that has been modified to deceive it into a Schwerin but the catch and pin doom it.

Cheers
Steve

I agree with Steve. Cyclops fake, "puffy eye" variant. More here:
