Gordon Williamson Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Two new arrivals. Firstly a nice variant of the L/53. Despite the appearance here, it has not lost its finish. What appears to be dark grey zinc wreath etc is the original finish which has darkened to an almost deep bronze finish.This is the third variant of pin/hinge fitting I've seen on the L/53 Minesweeper.
Gordon Williamson Posted November 16, 2008 Author Posted November 16, 2008 And a nice Tombak by R.S.S.. This one has been vaulted by its owner.
Martin W Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 A couple of nice badges there Gordon.Despite the variations in the hinge and pin the large circular catch-plate is a definate feature on the L/53's,i think.Regards,Martin.

Three different hinge/pin fitting styles but always the same hook, on a large disc sitting in a recess on the reverse face.
MP38 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Hi Gordon,a very beautiful sample of Hymmen L/53!

Gordon Williamson Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 Another new one. This time by Assmann. These Assmann made pieces are every bit as nice as Schwerin's products.

Gordon Williamson Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 I would not say that Assmann Minesweeperes are rare. Moderately scarce, but not rare. It is hard to find one with all its finish intact though.
