E-boat: interesting example - opinions?

[sigla]

Hi, have one really heavy, flat-back, and unmarked e-boat badge. I`m aware of similar replicas (thats not that) as well as some originals (fair to say most of the examples presented in WA forum threads). However, I`m struggling to find information about this particular badge. Any thoughts?

Height: 57.2 mm.
Width: 45 mm.
Wingspan: 24.2 mm.
Weight: 45 g.

It looks like a postwar S&L but wait for the KM experts opinions

Hi sigla,

This is indeed a known cast reproduction. As you pointed out, a notable feature is the heavy weight. Same type seen here:

On your closeup you can even see that the hinge block is cast as well.

Best regards,

Thanks for the info Norm F! Sending it back to the dealer!
