Hilfskreuzer Badge Steinhauer & Lück
Original auxiliary cruiser badge (Hilfskreuzerabzeichen) awarded to Kriegsmarine personnel who served on commerce raiders. Instituted on April 24, 1941. This is a late-war production example made of zinc by Steinhauer & Lück, Lüdenscheid. The quality of detail is moderate, typical of late-war manufacture, but the badge remains in mint condition. The silver-grey finish on the wreath and ship is fully preserved, with partial bronze wash still visible on the globe. The reverse features the classic block hinge setup used on St&L Panzer Assault Badges. A well-preserved example with crisp detail and intact fittings.
