Hand carved replica U~boat Emblems... These unofficial reproduction U~Boat Emblems are part of a rather large collection of emblems hand carved (and very detailed) by one talented individual using crude hand tools (a saw, pen knife, and file) as the way most of the originals were made. These are mounted on a sturdy piece of white cardboard, but can easily be removed to display. Emblems originally were not made for selling or any other commercial purposes. These designs were taken from photos and other published sources. U~Boat crews were very small, usually under 50, and losses were high, around 70%, the passage of time compound by the fact so much hand work make the claim, or demand of, to pin point authenticity, unrealistic. Even photos of the same members of a crew reveal striking differences in size, right facing vs. left facing etc. Each Emblem is at least 2" buy 1"..most are bigger. This lot includes: U~57 Devil made from brass U~106 Swardfish made from brass U~642 Crown made from brass U~43 Star on "V" made from brass U~463 Seahorses feeding made from brass U~3501 Palm Leaf and Machete made from aluminum U~657 Shark biting lion's rump made from brass U~ 301 Eagle and "U" made from copper and brace U~3025 Seagull and "U" made from brass U~300 Owl made from copper and aluminum U~531 Seal with ball or globe made read more
