Later-war-period, WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boot-Jagd und Sicherungs-Verbände' being a detailed and non-maker-marked, 'Feinzink'-based example as was produced by the 'S&L'-company

This is an attractive example of a WH (Kriegsmarine) so-called: 'Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boot-Jagd und Sicherungs-Verbände' (or: mine-sweeper war-badge) being a detailed- (and non-maker-marked- and I deem later-war-pattern) specimen, as was executed in multi-coloured zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink') and that comes in an overall nice (albeit moderately worn- ie. used-), condition. The badge, which has truly great pronounced detail, comes naturally mounted on its functional (and/or vertically mounted- and 'rounded' pin-, catch and/or oval-shaped pin-attachment (as is more often the case). The piece was presumably never cleaned ie. polished and retains most of its (very light-coloured- and most certainly over the years 'faded-away'-) golden- and/or silver-coloured finish: just some minimal wear and/or age is visible. The badge shows a typical, copper-based- and oval-shaped pin- (ie. catch-) attachment and can as such easily be attributed to the maker: 'Steinhauer & Lück' based in the town of Lüdenscheid. Simply an attractive, 'variant-pattern' KM war-badge by the 'Steinhauer & Lück'- (ie. 'S&L'-) company that comes in a wonderful condition and that is accordingly priced!
