Superb - albeit moderately used but rarely seen! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Marine-Artillerie-Abzeichen' being a typical maker- (ie. 'Schwerin-Berlin'-) marked- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based example as was produced by the desirable: 'Schwerin'-company

This is a truly attractive - and high-quality-produced and rarely found! - example of an - I deem - early-war-period, WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Marine-Artillerie-Abzeichen' (or: coastal-artillery war-badge) being a typical maker- (ie. 'Schwerin-Berlin'-) marked- and/or: 'Buntmetall'- ie. Tombac-based example as was produced by the desirable: 'Schwerin'-company as based in the town of Berlin and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The naval-war-badge naturally retains its typical catch- and/or hinge (-set-up) and comes naturally mounted onto its typical (flute-shaped-) pin: it also has a typical ('Schwerin'-type-) hinge- and/or catch in place as to be expected: these are both not altered nor damaged and of course fully functional. The badge - which still has maintained very pronounced detail - has never been cleaned nor polished and truly retains most its (bright-golden- ie. silverish-blue-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 attractive - by the: 'Schwerin'-company produced- and completely untouched! - 'Küstenartillerie'-related-award, accordingly!
