    U-Boat Badge - is it authentic?

    I would sincerely appreciate any opinions as to the authenticity of this U-Boat badge. It is unmarked. Thanks, John

    Hi John,
    This is so called 'five feather' u-boat badge, somewhat controversial since many examples of u-boats with this obverse design were made postwar. Maker is unknown. There are theories that it could be Schwerin at the very end of the war after they lost their standard dies when the factory was heavily damaged by allied bombs.
    Cheers,
    Hubert

      Thank you for the response. Would I be correct to sell it as an original badge?

          Hi John,

          Hubert has summed it up but it's worth reading this 5-page thread in its entirety to make up your own opinion about the likelihood of wartime production:

            Just do a simple check on the forum, there are many threads on these types of badge and many opinions on them. Can you claim its wartime production? Sure why not as people will have a view on their originality.
