M-1382 Early Sub Badge by Schwerin
Nice heavy,(24.9g) tombac example purchased from Jason Burmeister at the
SOS 2 years ago. Look at the sparkle to the polished highlights!! Oh yea,
good fire gilt to this one.
Cut out swas. example. Correct block hinge and "C" style brass catch.
Reverse of these Schwerin's are flat finish, this one shows honest wear.
Likely the most desired of all the Sub Badges. 25g Exc++/NM

M-1475 Sub Badge
Die struck zinc badge with the finish absorbed. Correct block hinge and catch
with magnetic pin.
That
badge is from die #2, and so far found only in zinc (there is a close
variant from a sister die that comes in tombak). The possible makers are
S&L, W&L or K&Q. (Thanks Norm for that!) Exc+

M-1374 Sub Badge

M-1457 High Seas Fleet by Schwerin
The most desirable of all the
HSF badge makers this one has got lots of honest wear. It looks to me like
someone made a feeble attempt to denazify it but the swas. is still
clearly visible. It's tombac based with some fire gilding remaining to the
top of the badge. Textbook badge with correctly shaped pin, block hinge
and flat wire catch. Exc

M-1324 High Seas Fleet by Baqueville
Good French made example that is completely
textbook. It's got good finish to the ship and much of the wreath
finish is absorbed. A similar example can be seen on pg 328 of
Tucker's reference. This one matches the book to include color of finish,
die flaws to the reverse and the pin/hinge/hook and catch set-up. Exc+

M-1462 Blockade Runner by Schwerin
Textbook Schwerin in tombac. The pin is nonmagnetic and perfectly
fits into the tombak catch that is soldered into the reverse.
The block hinge is correct. This is 100% right. Exc+

M-1118 Blockade Runner by A.G.M.u.K.4
Here's a tough one to find. Found at the bottom of a box of badges
obtained from a Canadian Veterans daughter. This one is zinc based with
some loss of finish to the obverse. The ball hinge is textbook and has
been correctly factory soldered into a die forged recess in the back of
the badge. The pin is magnetic and perfectly fits into the tombak catch
this is crimped into a recess in the reverse. The lower ship windows are
the correct shape and the letters to the reverse are raised with the
correct die flaws. This is 100% right. Exc

M-1400 Blockade Runner by A.G.M.u.K.4
Nice condition! This one I believe is zinc
based with excellent finish. The
ball hinge is textbook and has been correctly factory soldered into a die
forged recess in the back of the badge. The pin is magnetic and perfectly
fits into the tombac catch this is crimped into a recess in the reverse.
The ball hinge is textbook, see Tucker's reference Vol 1 pg 398
The lower ship windows are the correct shape and the letters to the
reverse are raised with the correct die flaws. This is 100% right. Exc++/NM

M-1467 1st Pattern S-Boat by Baqueville
Baqueville located in Paris but a nice job on these
Navy badges. Very unique and tough to copy. Nice finish remaining
especially to the boat. The reverse is correct in every aspect. The upper hook
is intact and the hinge is the exact one we see in Tuckers reference. Exc++
$650
M-853 Unmarked Auxiliary Cruiser (Foerster &
Barth)
Desirable tombac construction this
is a 2 piece badge with single rivet construction. The hinge is a sheet
metal variant and the way the pin is bent over has lead many to agree this
variant is made by F&B. Nice finish I would say 99% to the gold
wash. Weighs in at 26.55gr. Exc++
$815
M-850 Auxiliary Cruiser by Baqueville
Desirable variant of a tough badge to find! Baqueville located in Paris but a nice job on these Navy badges. Very unique and tough to copy. Look at the finish that remains to this one! This is the best Baqueville Auxiliary Cruiser I've come across! The reverse is correct in every aspect. The upper hook is intact and the hinge is the exact one we see in Tuckers reference, pg387, except, well, this is in better shape than his!!☺ Weighs in at 26.95gr. Exc++
