OBSOLETE
DENMARK EMBROIDERED SUBMARINE BADGE - QUALITY REPRODUCTION.
This badge is a reproduction of an obsolete submarine badge from the DENMARK Navy.  It is an early obsolete unofficial design.  See photos for condition and other details.
This badge is DEN-1 (on page 37) in Pete Pritchard's book "Submarine Badges and Insignia of the World : An Illustrated Reference for Collectors" by Pete Prichard (1997, Hardcover)".  During the late 1960s, the Danish Submarine Service, coming in contact with other NATO submariners with badges, decided they should have one of their own.  This badge is the one they designed.  In gold bullion, two bottle nose dolphins, supporting with their tails a circled fouled anchor.  Danish royal crown surmounting on a navy blue backing.  Dating from c1971, it was worn unofficially by Danish submariners on the right breast by all ranks.  The Danish Navy changed the submarine badge design and in 1973 was officially authorized.
The Danish Navy stopped using submarines in 2004.
