Regrettably incomplete, WH (KM) 'Marine-Artillerie-Abzeichen' being a clearly maker- (ie. 'HA'-) marked- and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example by the: 'Hermann Aurich'-company

This is a (still) attractive example of an - I deem - somewhat later-war-period, WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Marine-Artillerie-Abzeichen' (or: coastal-artillery war-badge) being a clearly maker- (ie. 'HA'-) marked- and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example as was produced by the: 'Hermann Aurich'-company as was based in the town of Dresden and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit oderately used- ie. worn- and regrettably incomplete), condition. The award retains its typical hinge- ie. pin (-set-up) and comes naturally mounted onto its typical (steel-based- and/or thin-shaped-) pin: it missses, however, its catch (as can be noticed on the pictures). The badge - which still has maintained pronounced detail - has never been cleaned nor polished and truly retains almost all of its (golden- ie. greyish-silver-toned) finish something that is not always the case (as can be seen on the pictures). This particular piece originates from a private-household in Germany where it was recently found. I deem that I have priced this still attractive - by the: 'Hermann Aurich'-company-produced, WH (KM) 'Küstenartillerie'-related-award, according to its missing catch!
