OK, this is as clear as I can get it with my camera. I hope they are good enough for opinions. I believe it is an umarked schwerin. John

Difficult to tell with those pics....can you take better ones or use a scanner?

badge

To me, everything is in place, propeller (screws), hinge, clasp and hook. Also seems to have an early war fire gilding. Little worn in some places, but not a lot. Appears to be a standard uboat badge of this manufacturer for our records.

The edge at the top of the badge is what you would exect also I think.

Any more opinions of this badge? John

From the pics it looks acceptable to me but note: Schwerin UBoot badge copies seem to be getting better all the time. If you want to be 100% certain try and get some good clear pics up of STRAIGHT ON obverse and reverse. Yours are a little tipped to the side and a bit to blurry. Important is that we can see the eagles head.

Thanks Skip, Not sure why this camera is giving me so many problems, need a new one I guess. Is this better? John

Hi John,


Skip had a good point, you can't be carefull enough with these Schwerin U-boats but based upon the last pics you posted you can sleep on both ears

Thanks Philippe,

One last crystal clear picture of the head. My hands must have been shaking with the other photos. John

Looks good to me to John. Who, or what, is that

Hi John,

As the guys say, no problem with this one, it has some of the features that I would look for in what is thought to be the "later" type badge including the burnished top of the wing and slightly raised foredeck.
