Friedrich Keller Oberstein U Boat Badge

[R Blum]

Did Friedrich Keller Oberstein ever make a U Boat Badge? There is one listed on Ebay and I have all three Kriegsmarine Awards Books and I can't find any such Award. I am I wrong?

Hi,

Friedrich Keller Oberstein did not make KM badges.
Cheers,

Thanks. That's what I thought. I like to look on Ebay just to see what's on there. Some are so fake even a novice like myself can tell the difference. I would never buy anything on Ebay without vetting them here first.

There's a whole series of old fake "Keller"-marked badges covering all three branches of the military, probably from the 1970's:

Thanks Norm. Interesting thread. The one on Ebay looks to be Cyclops fake with the "Type 2" Keller mark. But he only wants $400 for it.

This fake sold for $400, unbelievable.
