Hello, I have a KM Destroyer badge that I was going to put on the E-Stand . Thought I would let more knowledgeable people look it over. From what I know it is a mid-war with the maker S.H.u Co.. What is the ballpark value on these? Thank you!

Hi SK,
blurry pics, but looks good, try better pics if you sell it to give the potential buyer more confidence. The price is up to you, but anything up to 180.- EUR would be considered a fair price.Cheers, Frank

Hi Frank.Originally posted by Frank Heukemes
You know these badges, I don't
. One question though, all S.H.uCo. destroyers I've seen has had a rektangular catch-plate, not a round. The logo has also been positioned more to the right, placing the "u" directly under the lower gun. Consequently, are there multiple dies for the zink-version of the above badge
.

Dear Peter,
That is an interesting discussion I have only had yesterday with a German collector friend whom I visited. He had an obviously original SHuCO destroyer definitely coming from a different die than the vast majority of those.
We also talked about a SHuCo IAB he had in his collection with much of the same catchplate as on this destroyer in this thread. I assumed it may have been a replacement, but seeing it here on another ShuCo badge I think I might agree with him that it is an actual ShuCo catchplate variation.Cheers, Frank
