Question: Are there badges / pins for specific Kriegsmarine ships?

[leproc]

Hello! I just have a question for the community. I've been looking for pins that were for specific Kriegsmarine vessels, but I can't seem to find any. Do these even exist? If so, what are examples of such pins / badges. If you have any links for those who sell authentic pins / badges of this type, that would definitely be appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes the Kreuzer Emden and the Kreuzer Karlsruhe have pins definitively. The Emden being of a rectangular design and the Kalrsruhe being a circular design.

As for others, I haven't seen any other pieces.

They don't come up that often for sale so it is difficult to provide you a link. I have been keeping my eye out for an Emden for a while now.

Thanks! Your private message box is full...and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this, but this is a prospective seller on Ebay that has an Emden pin (not sure about authenticity though) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-ANT...YAAOSwzaJX68SI
