WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Marine-Artillerie-Abzeichen' being a clearly maker- (ie. 'L/56'- thus by: 'Funcke & Brüninghaus'-) marked and/or zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example

This is an attractive example of an - I deem somewhat later-war-period - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Marine-Artillerie-Abzeichen' (or: coastal-artillery war-badge) being a neatly maker- 'L/56'- thus by: 'Funcke & Brüninghaus'-) marked and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example that comes as moderately used ie. worn and that comes in an overall nice, condition. The award retains its typical catch (-set-up) and comes naturally mounted on its (steel-based- thus magnetic and/or flute-shaped and rusted) pin: it also has a typical hinge- and/or catch in place as to be expected: these are not altered nor damaged and of course fully functional. The badge - which still has maintained very pronounced detail - has never been cleaned nor polished but has lost most of its (once surely golden-toned) finish: this colour has just faded-away ie. has 'migriert' over the years (as can be noticed on the pictures). I deem that I have priced this still attractive 'Küstenartillerie'-related-award according to its moderately used- (but nevertheless nicely preserved!), condition!
