High Seas Fleet badge, Schwerin

[Paul Weir]

Good evening gentlemen, I found this HSF badge in my local antiques store today (I haven't bought it yet), there are things I like about it and some things I don't, I will admit I am totally out of my depth with Kreigsmarine awards and would value any opinion regards originality. Many thanks in advance Paul.

Hi Paul,
This is very nice tombak Schwerin HSF, flawed bridge window variation.
Cheers,

Hi Paul.

Agreed, a lovely original with near 100% fire-gilt finish and burnished swas/X-bow. If it's a reasonable price grab it!

Regards
Mike

Thanks for the positive views guys, hopefully I'll bag this one tomorrow and post some better pics thanks again, Paul p.s. slightly different topic ,can a 2nd type schwerin S boot badge have a cut out swastika without having the cut out flag also?

Thanks for all the help and opinions here Gentlemen managed to bag this minty badge for an excellent £130 that was with a cheeky tenner off because I bought an S boot badge as well which I will post later, feeling pretty stoked at the moment thanks again Paul.
