WW2 Era German High Seas Fleet Badge by Schwerin.

The German: Das Flottenkriegsabzeichen, was awarded for service to the crews of the Kriegsmarine Fleet of battleships and cruisers, but also those ships that supported them; to qualify for the award officers and ratings had to serve a minimum of 12 weeks service on a battleship or cruiser, with proof of distinction and good conduct; the number of weeks was reduced if the recipient was wounded or killed during the voyage, or took part in any outstanding achievements in an engagement or if an individual's ship was sunk in action etc.
This one is a real beauty, it still retains 99% of its original gilt and the detail is still good showing very to no little wear. It has its original broad pin on the back along with the makers details which reads; Fec. Adolf Bock Ause Schwern Berlin.
The back has one small scuff and it has been polished around the makers mark, probably so it could be easily made out.
A fabulous example of this badge, which, as with all my items, it comes with a full money back guarantee.
