Gordon Williamson Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Another new arrival and one that is quite hard to find. Early Tombak Minesweeper by Steinhauer & L?ck.The style of pin and the outline profile of the waterspout are what identifies it.This one has a round wire hook, but flat wire hooks are also known.

Norm F Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I've been studying these S&L's lately (both buntmetall and zinc) and I was fortunate to acquire this tombak example in rather nice condition! These badges are remarkably similar in design to the unmarked Junker MS but from different dies and with different cutouts around the eagle. It's interesting that S&L initially pictured a Schwerin/Deumer design minesweeper badge in their 1941 catalogue but then produced this design instead. Best regards, ---Norm
