WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boot-Jagd und Sicherungs-Verbände' being a detailed albeit non-maker-marked and 'Feinzink'-based example as was produced by the: 'Förster & Barth'-company

This is a neat - just minimally used but actully scarcely encountered! - 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 unusually non-maker-marked example that was I deem produced by the: 'Förster & Barth'-company) and that comes in a nicely preserved condition. The award is I deem a somewhat 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 pronounced detail, comes naturally mounted onto its functional (and/or vertically mounted- and 'flute-shaped' pin-, catch and/or typically-shaped pin-attachment (as is more often the case). The piece was presumably never cleaned ie. polished and has regrettably losy most of its (very light-coloured- and most certainly over the years 'faded-away') golden- and/or silver-coloured finish. The badge shows a typical pin that can easily be attributed to the desirable maker: 'Förster & Barth' as based in the town of Pforzheim (these by F&B-produced examples do most times show an 'L/21'-designation). Simply an attractive, 'variant-pattern' KM war-badge by the: 'Förster & Barth' -company that comes in a just moderately used condition and that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
