Description
Kriegsmarine U-Boat Badge by Schwerin – Vaulted. This is an early tombac example that the original owner has vaulted so that it better hugs the tunic. This vaulting of badges seems to be favored by members of the Kriegsmarine. My friend got this out of the woodwork and you can see some red patina to the piece at the front which you will see sometimes with tombac pieces. Unmarked, but by Schwerin of Berlin, 24.29 grams, 38.84 by 47.95 mm. Scarce and attractive. This one saw the waves during World War Two! LH3862
