Veteran Bring Back German WWII Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery Badge

Veteran Bring Back German WWII Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery Badge-This is a choice example. The gold finish is mostly intact on the eagle and the wreath, and the details are excellent. The body of the badge is nice and dark and shows great details, as does the long gun. The pin and catch are in place and function as intended. We were lucky enough to be able to purchase this directly from the veteran's family. We will be sure to give the soldier's name to the buyer. This is a handsome award and nice to see it in such nice condition.History: Badges for the Coastal Artillery (was a World War II German military decoration were awarded to the crews of Kriegsmarine land-based marine artillery and anti-aircraft units.
