      Hi Ed,

      The f.o. zinc U-Boat looks fine.

      As to the Fleet badge, on first glance the badge itself looks excellent in these photos, but any time you see a round-wire catch on an R.S.&S. Fleet badge alarm bells go off. If I'm not mistaken it's the very same example shown here which is discussed in this thread:
      http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...58#post6810058

      There are a couple of types of excellent quality fakes of this badge floating around as described in that thread, and in my opinion this is one of them.

      Best regards,
      ---Norm

        Thanks, Norm. This one had me on the edge. I'll pass the details to the owner and I appreciate your input and expertise. Ed

          I agree, original zinc FO u-boat and fake RS&S HSF.
          Cheers,
          Hubert

            Ed,

            We have been discussing this badge for a number of years and only recently determined the problems with the hook catch type. This thread explains:

              HSF is a fake.I've learned about these the hard way-I've had a couple.Here are two.The one on the right is reasonably good.
