Re: War badges of the Kriegsmarine
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!

Re: War badges of the Kriegsmarine
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.

Re: War badges of the Kriegsmarine
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.
