Typically these badges were worn by both German and foreign dock yard workers at Kiel, Bremen, and also places like St Nazaire, anywhere, in fact, where German surface ships or U-boats were being repaired. The number on the front would correspond with the roll of the dock yard workers - it was effectively the worker's pass into the yard.
Despite appearing a little worn and of no great quality, this happens to be a particularly rare badge. It is nicely maker-marked on the reverse in relief (diam. approx. 3 cms).
