Title U-boat dock yard worker's badge, Kiel
Nationality German
Period c 1939-45
Price £150.00

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).

Just to let you know the badge arrived safely. Thank you very much. I'm very pleased with it.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
