J Temple-West Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I managed to nab another minesweeper from the same auction that the Schwerin U-Boat badge, I recently posted, came from.This example is from the factory of Otto Schickle - Pforzheim, and is an early piece in tombak. It has a "Been there" bit of wear.... but anything early, in any condition, by this maker, seems to be getting harder and harder to find nowadays.Anyway, minesweeper by Schickle.

Martin W Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) That is a very uncommon and desirable Minesweeper badge John.I have seen one of these bages with an L/18 mark on the mainpin,probably leftover Schickle stock that was picked up by Mayer in Pfortzheim when Schickle went under.I have a very rare Schickle Hilfskreuzer award with the same reverse set up,one of only three i know of.Regards,Martin.
