    9 Kriegsmarine Badges, Opinions Please

    I recently purchased a small collection from a friend who stopped collecting twenty years ago and had been collecting since the 1970s. These nine Kriegsmarine badges were among the collection. A knowledgeable friend said the two U-Boot Badges were fakes, as are the High Seas Fleet Badge, Blockade Runner Badge, Destroyer Badge and the Auxiliary Cruiser Badge. Confirmation would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to know if the embroidered U-Boot Badge is original.

      Hi Barry,
      Your friend is correct. Embroided u-boat is also a fake. Tombak Schwerin minesweeper and tombak Juncker CAB are ok.
      Cheers,
      Hubert

        I agree with Hubert's comments
        here.
        The two mentioned above are good.

        Cheers,Martin.

          Thanks to everyone who has replied so far. For my information, what are the tell-tale signs that the Blockade Runner Badge is fake? It's well made, but I'm thinking the eagle's head gives it away. Or?

            Hi Barry,

            the mainpin is incorrect and from what I can see so is the maker mark.
            Nice clear images of the individual badges would have been of more help here.

            Cheers,Martin.

              Embroided U-Boat badge is a Delta Intal. fake from the 70's.
