Thx
Originally posted by emaroliI don't think late war. My feeling is that they were one of the last 1st E type produced. After the 2nd type was available there would have been no need to produce the obsolete type with new dies and tooling. There would have been no customer demand. ~ED

E-boat Badge
Hello Bill,
That 1st pattern E-boat badge is good. I owned several over the years and one came from a vet back in 1975 or so, I paid around $8 for it. Sadly, I own none of them now for I sold them once I obtained an example by Schwerin Berlin. All of these E-boats with the "O" mark look the same, although the finish varies on them.
As a matter of fact, if you have the first edition of John Angolia's book "For Fuehrer and Fatherland" and not the reprint (the orignial 1976 edition), the author shows that exact style of badge when the 1st pattern E-boat is discussed. I am in the middle of a move and my copy is packed up, so I can't scan it.
Regards,
Jody
