Kriegsmarine Auxiliary Cruiser Badge
This is a Kriegsmarine Auxiliary Cruiser Badge, a military decoration awarded by the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) during World War II. The badge features a detailed depiction of a sailing ship superimposed on a globe, all within a laurel wreath and topped with a stylized eagle. This design symbolises the role of auxiliary cruisers in disrupting enemy shipping lanes. The badge is constructed with a brass base and appears to have a gilt finish.
Condition and Collectibility
This badge exhibits signs of age and wear consistent with its historical period. While the badge shows some patina and minor wear to the gilt finish, it remains a visually striking example of WWII German naval insignia. This badge would be of interest to collectors of military memorabilia, particularly those specialising in WWII German naval items or badges.
