piekenier Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 This appears to be a late war Zinc Minensucher Abzeichen . Not sure if it is good! Need some opinions and ideas on maker please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) It looks like a good Steinhauer & Luck made badge in zinc.From what i can see of the pin it looks like the inverse tapered type that is seen on many S&L Kriegsmarine awards. A reverse photo with the pin down might help confirm this. Regards,Martin. Edited February 10, 2014 by Martin W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin W Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for the addtional photo. Indeed a good period S&L piece IMO.As i mentioned,typical inverse tapered pin seen on many S&L awards. Here is a zinc Hilfskreuzer piece that i have in my collection with the same reverse set up. Regards,Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 After receiving your PM asking me to look at minesweeper by B&NL I expected to see a fake with bogus maker mark. Nice to see that it was probably a typing error and that it's turned out to be as Martin has rightly identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
