Attractive, WH (KM) 'Flottenkriegsabzeichen' (or: high-sea fleet badge) being a typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based and/or (I deem) later-war-period version that is neatly maker- (ie. 'F.O.-') marked on its back
This is an attractive - and truly very pronounced! - example of a so-called: WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Flottenkriegsabzeichen' (or: naval high-sea fleet badge) being an (I deem later-war-period-) and/or: typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example that is neatly maker- (ie. 'F.O.'- or: 'Friedrich Orth'-) marked on its back and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem just moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The very detailed - and/or pronounced! - badge has lost most of its original, golden- (ie. silverish-grey-) toned finish (it has just somewhat 'migriert' over the years as more often) and is very nicely maker-marked on its back as stated above. The badge - which is a typically molded-style, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example - comes of course mounted onto its (fully unaltered!) functional (flute-shaped- and/or steel-based) pin and/or catch (both being typical for these by the Austrian-based 'Friedrich Orth'-company produced naval war-badges). The badge on offer here was with certainty never cleaned nor polished and was recently uncovered at a private-household in Germany. I deem that I priced this - actually fairly scarcely encountered and fully untouched! - naval-war-badge, accordingly!
