Schwerin High Seas Fleet

[Moore-Grant]

Hi,

This I am 99% sure is good.

Early Schwerin Bronze/Alloy/Tombak High Seas Fleet Badge with Real Fire Gilded reef.

What do you think?

Thanks.

I´m 99,9% sure this one is not good, sorry.

Wrong hardware, weak details...

Hi Joseph, hope you're good.

I always thought this was the same hardware as the Schwerin First Production High Seas Fleet Badge they made in 1941?

If I am wrong then that is that. Only going on what appears in books with High Seas first production examples for reference.

Thanks though, I'll look into it further now.

A post war reproduction,sorry to say.

Incorrect hardware for a tombak Schwerin.

Cheers,Martin.

Hi MG,

Take a look at Mike Kenny's early study of Schwerin Fleet badges from 15 years ago. Still good after all these years.

As posted with my E-Boat but it applies here too:

Shocking stuff, I give up..!!

My only defence is when first brought, there were only books available & no internet databases for research purposes.

Oh well, live & learn I guess, balls!!!!

So, where can I sell them on..?? Joke, by the way.

I agree, postwar reproduction.
