This is absolutely the best that I have ever had, a truly stunning badge by  Herman Wernstein, whose make is rarely found on U-Boat badges. HW pins and catches were quite unique to that maker, and the badge displays all of it’s finish to the front, and to the rear. The rear pin has  been replaced, and due to the complexity of the hinge set up, this may well have been done a long time ago by a skilled jeweller. One can only wonder why the pin snapped, or broke, but this badge is without doubt a lovely piece of work. Looking closely at the finish, it may well have been touched up in some small places, notably on the front on the hull of the sub. A zinc badge that really would be impossible to upgrade from- priced accordingly
