German WWII Auxiliary Cruiser Badge

A very good original example of the German World War Two Auxiliary Cruiser Badge, maker marked ‘FO’ for Friedrich Orth of Vienna. This badge also features the uncommon and still unidentified small square mark next to the ‘FO’—a known variation that adds collector interest.

Standard flat-backed construction with a magnetic round pin, consistent with late-war production by this manufacturer. The detailing remains strong across the Viking longship and globe motif. A solid piece for Kriegsmarine and German naval awards collectors.
