WW2 Kriegsmarine?
Hi,
These came in a box lot with a few other badges. Google is showing the tally as an escort squadron I really can't find anything else on it or the other badges. Any info would be appreciated fullsizeoutput_4658.jpg fullsizeoutput_4659.jpg fullsizeoutput_465a.jpg fullsizeoutput_465b.jpg fullsizeoutput_465c.jpg |

The bullion cap badge is Indian, the Scindia Steam Navigation Co., Ltd., Bombay, used a red swastika on their house flag: https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collec...jects/357.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scindi...on_Company_Ltd. All the best Graham

Seems it's all more shipping line than military based. |

Sorry to say but the cap tally is not WW2 Kriegsmarine but postwar Bundesmarine. The 1. Geleitgeschwader was formed in 1956.

Have you had any luck identifying the eagle (if that is what it is) badge yet?

Not yet Simon, cannot find anything similar and with the rest of items being a mixed bag not even sure not if it's military.

I think the eagle is something to do with the prewar German car manufacturer 'Adler' see here:
