Sorry to learn of the theft of your Blockade runners badge , sickening.
The Hiugh Seas Fleet badge - perhaps one of the most striking of the Kgm awards a nice heavy tombac with plenty of gold on it. Hard to beat. :)

(And unfortunately very expensive. :( ).

And the sickner was that it was mint,I'd had one before which had no finish left and of cause I sold that.The upside is that it it came in a maroon box which I still have and have since learned that its actually for the silver wound badge,I have just obtained a near mint example and placed it in the box.

The Blockade Runner comes in a nice blue "silk" lined box , with the award comes a smaller stick pin badge - a really nice set but expensive!

The US dealer selling it is looking $950 for it , I saw on another UK site a dealer asking £750 for the award itself , no stick pin and no presentation case, some UK dealers are still asking way too much for items.(IMO).

I would agree with you , the High Seas Fleet badge is one to go for , I don't buy awards as a rule but I would make an exception for it.

I've got several Km badges, but no cased ones, and a few other items to go with them.
The clock is a brass framed/cased one so must have come off of a ship? It keeps as good time as any clock in the house, IF I remember to wind it every 8 days.
