Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

1st Pattern - Das Schnellbootkriegsabzeichen by C. Schwerin & Sohn of Berlin. The Fast Attack Craft War Badge was awarded to worthy individuals who had served in twelve combat engagements on fast attack craft or torpedo boats, other special circumstances may grant the award as well. The S- Boat Badge design was changed on January 28th 1943, from the earlier 1st pattern (S-30 boat) to the 2nd pattern (S-38 boat). The badge is constructed out of a die struck tombak base that has been blackened, silver washed and gold gilded. The obverse depicts an S-boat (S-30 type) breaking through the sea below a kriegsmarine eagle (with out-stretched wings, clutching a swastika within its talons), which is then all encompassed by a laurel leaf and acorn wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The semi-full back reverse is features a soldered on block hinge, soldered on flat wire catch, coke bottle pin and round wire top hook. All of the components remain in well working condition. It measures 2 ¼ inches tall by 1 ¾ inches wide. Schwerin was the only maker to produce a tombak 1st pattern version and was likely the first producer of this award. Beautiful gilded and frosted highlights! The color contrasts are wonderful! One of the best 1st pattern badges I’ve owned…
