Post your Blockade Runners badge!

Hi folks,
The Blockade Runner's badge has always been underrated in my opinion. Yet, this badge has always been a favorite. Who owns them? Please post away and maybe we can see how many types are out there?

Here is my cased example by Schwerin Berlin. This badge of the 2nd style of circular indentation. Sadly, I do not have a photo of it's reverse. These two pictures I took almost 12 years ago. If you want to see better pictures of it, Michale Tucker has my badge in his book on pages 389-393 of Combat Badges of the 3rd Reich.
Regards,
Jody

Part of group

Hello Everyone, This is the only Blockade runner I ever had. I got this group of items recently and was told all were from one man the ribbon bar and the miniatures on the chain are 57’ers. Interesting to have both a U-boat badge and a Blockade Runner Badge from one man I think.
