Attractive, WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Marine-Artillerie-Abzeichen' being a clearly maker- (ie. 'Fec. Otto Placzek Berlin - Ausf. Schwerin - Berlin'-) marked and/or zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example that comes as moderately used ie. worn

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- (ie. 'Fec. Otto Placzek Berlin - Ausf. Schwerin - Berlin'-) marked and/or zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example that comes as moderately used ie. worn and that comes in an overall very nice, condition. The award retains its typical catch (-set-up) and comes naturally mounted on its (also zinc-based- and/or flute-shaped) pin: it also has a typical ('Fec. Otto Placzek'-type-) 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 golden-toned) finish: this colour has just faded-away over theyears (ie. has migriert). I deem that I have priced this attractive 'Küstenartillerie'-related-award according to its moderately used- (but nevertheless still nicely preserved-) condition!
