Ship badges

Dolf,
You really seem to like your Sub Badges and pins so I can maybe recommend this book.
I haven't got a copy but this must be a great help to you if you can get a copy.
Please see this thread:

Post 10 contains photos of the different types of badges issued to Surface Ship and Submarine Commanding Officers. The silver (bottom) are issued to the CO's of ships and subs; the gilt (top) are issued to commanders of groups of ships or subs (Captians 1st rank and admirals).

Thanks a lot K3.

I have a couple of variations (?) of each, either with a flat back or with a concave back. Does this means something?

Thanks.

I'm not aware of any significance to any variations in manufacture of these badges (other than gilt/silver). Maybe someone else may have some insight?

Hello,

here is a comparison of the pins of the reverse of the ship commanders badges. The ship badges are made out of "german silver".
2 backsides of original bades from a dealer side and two of most likely fakes
I think? Very cheap sold on the flea market.

bought on the flea market.
I think the pins are made out of normal screws.
