Attractive - albeit moderately used- ie. worn! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen' being a typical non-maker-marked example as executed in 'Feinzink' as was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller'): 'Alois Rettenmaier'
This is an attractive - albeit I deem just moderately worn but still detailed and pronounced! - example of a so-called: WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen' (or: destroyers'-war-badge) being a (typical) non-maker-marked- example that is executed in typical zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit surely issued- and I deem moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The very detailed and/or pronounced (and somewhat vaulted- ie. converse-shaped!) war-badge has lost most of its golden- (ie. silverish-grey) coloured finish (which has 'migrier't over the years as more often) and is executed in so-called: zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink'): it comes, naturally mounted onto its unaltered- and/or functional (thin-shaped) pin and/or catch (set-up). The neat badge was - I deem - never cleaned nor polished: it is just a tiny bit dusty ie. dirty as recently found (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece shows (I deem) all characteristics as to be expected for a by the (truly unusually seen!) maker (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Alois Rettenmaier' produced naval war-badge. I deem that this used - albeit still nicely preserved! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen' is with certainty accordingly priced!
