U-Boat Combat Clasp in Bronze – Kriegsmarine, Swastika, Reverse Marked

Item Number: 34.136

The U-Boat Combat Clasp in Bronze of the Kriegsmarine is a distinct award and not to be confused with the U-Boat War Badge. It was introduced in 1944 and awarded to experienced U-boat crewmen who already possessed the U-Boat War Badge and had completed further outstanding combat patrols – the Bronze level was the entry level of the three-tiered clasp (Bronze – Silver – Gold). This example has a manufacturer's mark on the reverse (marked) and is fitted with a pin for attachment. The piece is a high-quality collector's reproduction, virtually indistinguishable from the original.
