WH (Kriegsmarine), 'Feinzink'-based: 'U-Bootkriegsabzeichen' (or: U-boat war-badge) being a marker (ie. 'L/21'-) marked example by the: 'Förster u. Barth'-company

The attractive - and typical light-golden-toned and/or zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based - 'U-Bootkriegsabzeichen' (or: U-boat war-badge) is as stated a neatly-maker-marked and/or fairly detailed, (I deem) somewhat later-war period example showing the typical (impressed) 'L/21'-makers'-logo onto its pin (as can be noticed on the pictures). It is as such a typical example that was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Förster u. Barth'-company as was based in the town of Pforzheim. The piece retains a very nice age-patina and truly retains truly all of its period-applied, somewhat lighter-toned golden-toned finish (something that is most certainly not always the case with these later-war produced pieces!). The piece is just a tiny bit stained but still shows extraordinary detail and comes naturally mounted onto its functional (typical-shaped) pin- and/or catch(-set-up) which are both fully unaltered and of course still fully functional. The badge has simply never been cleaned nor polished and is still a bit dirty ie. stained. Simply a very nice, later-war-period 'U-Bootkriegsabzeichen' by a very unusually seen maker that is with certainty accordingly priced!
