Description
U-Boat Badge by Hymenn With Initials And Number of Ships Sunk. Early tombac example having the original owner’s initials scratched on the back reverse along with a number of line scrapes on the reverse with the consensus being that these represent the numbers of ships sunk by the U-Boat that this crewman was on. The piece is slightly vaulted by the owner as is often seen with Kriegsmarine badges and the pin is bent but all there. The catch is damaged and the cross pin at the hinge has been period replaced. This piece saw used during the war and surely speaks to you. LH13191
