Superb, WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Blockadebrecher-Kriegsabzeichen' being a clearly maker- (ie. 'Fec. Otto Placzek Berlin - Ausf. Schwerin - Berlin'-) marked example as executed in multi-coloured metal (ie. 'Buntmetall')

The very attractive - and truly quality-produced- and - I deem - early-war-period produced - naval-award or: 'Blockadebrecher-Kriegsabzeichen' (ie. blocade-runner war-badge) comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition as recently found. The badge truly retains great pronounced detail and retains, moreover, most (ie. all!) of its 'off-factory' greyish-bluish-coloured finish and retains details as executed in bright- (and truly 'frosted'!) silver-finish (as can be seen on the pictures): the piece was never cleaned nor polished (but was, nevertheless, minimally used and/or worn). The regular-sized badge (which is of the typical 'Buntmetall'-based-, 'dish-back'-pattern-) shows a clearly present makers'-marking (that reads: 'Fec. Otto Placzek Berlin - Ausf. Schwerin - Berlin') as is to be expected by a quality-produced war-badge by this maker. The regular-sized award comes naturally mounted onto its (fully functional- and totally unaltered) (typical) pin- and/or pin-catch set-up as to be expected. I deem that I have priced this very attractive 'Blockadebrecher-Kriegsabzeichen' by the very desirable 'Hersteller 'Schwerin - Berlin' accordingly!
