Attractive - and scarcely encountered! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen' (or: auxiliary-cruiser war-badge) being a typical, non-maker-marked- and/or: 'Feinzink'-based example as was produced by the: 'Förster & Barth'-company

The attractive - just moderately used and actually very scarcely seen! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen' (or: naval auxiliary-cruiser war-badge) is - I deem - a typical, later-war-period and non-maker-marked, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example as was produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller'): 'Förster & Barth' and that comes in an overall nice- (I deem issued and/or just moderately worn-), condition. The neat piece - which is of a (typical) single-pieced construction! - truly retains most (ie. almost all!) of its golden-coloured finish and shows an (integrated) silver-toned globe (as can be seen on the pictures). The award comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional and/or typically-shaped pin (which is of course fully functional but that might have been once re-attached) and has a totally unaltered (and period) catch ie. pin/catch set-up. The badge was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and simply comes as stored for decades: it only shows some minimal tarnish (and has with certainty never been cleaned nor polished though). It is - as stated above - a typical, non-maker-marked example that can unmistakenly be attributed to the by the desirable: 'Förster & Barth'-company as was based in the town of Pforzheim. Simply an attractive and I deem somewhat later-war-period WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen' that is priced according to its comparative scarcity and/or unmistaken desirability!
