Kriegsmarine High Seas Fleet Badge Authentic (Rare)
Produced in zinc and nice finish overall. A great example overall and would display great with other badges from the period! At the direction of Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, commander in chief of the navy, the Fleet War badge was instituted on April 30 1941 to recognize the sea actions of the German Navy, mainly in actions against England.
The designer was Adolf Bock of Berlin. Even though the badge was instituted in 1941, it was awarded for actions prior to that date.
