Being offered for sale is a really beautiful and rare award grouping for a Kriegsmarine musikobermaaten sailor who served late in the war on the Kreuzer PRINZ EUGEN.

The lot offered for this sailor consits of the following:
Paper award documenting the holder of this lot being awarded the Flottenabzeichen medal dated on December 24, 1944. The document has fold lines where it was folded presumably for storage along with several hole punches along the border edges of the document. The award document has typed entries along with a official (de-nazified) stamping to the document and a ink signature of Kriegsmarine Vizeadmiral AUGUST THIELE, who was a Knights Cross award recipient!
An original Flottenkriegsabzeichen (High Sea Fleet) bagde Constructed of gilded and silvered zink, the obverse consisting of an oval oak leaf wreath, joined together at the bottom by ribbon, topped by a Wehrmacht eagle clutching a mobile swastika, surrounding a frontal depiction of a Kriegsmarine battleship cutting through waves and executed in exceptional detail, the reverse with a ball hinge and vertical pinback meeting a flat wire catch emanating from a crimped base, maker marked with the logo of Richard Simm & Söhne, Gablonz. Age wear present but still fully intact and much of its finish preserved!
