S-boot badge from Souval

Is it possible to take a look at this snelbootabzeichen for me? The photos are not that good I'm sorry.
Thanks!

Hi Giel,
The badge looks just like my RS E-boat badge. The maker mark looks good from the pics, but it is blurry and I would want to see a closer (clearer pic) of the back. but based on the pics you have it looks ok. I of course am still new on here (and learning), so I would hold out for some more educated opinions.

Thanks Andy,
A thing I wanted to mension, is it normal that the hinge and catch are gold, and that there is no paint from the front on the backside?

Here is a photo of the back of mine. The hinge and catch are grey (probably from age and use)

(sorry about getting back to you so late, it was such a beautiful day here, I had to spend the majority of it outside )

Hello Giel,

I would also say that your badge is probably ok, but it's hard to be completely certain without better pictures. Here are a few pictures of mine for comparison. This badge has a protective coating of lacquer which has kept the obverse finish in very nice condition.
Best regards! Tom
