Indeed a rare piece Adrian, you did well to secure it! The P&L made Mine Sweeper badge was for many years thought to have been the product of Otto Schickle/B.H.Mayer until a P&L product catalogue was recently uncovered that showed small differences in the 'cut out' of the explosion on the badge compared to known Schickle/Mayer ones. This lead to a difference in the weight between the two badges being noticed. The Schickle/Mayer type were +/-30g whilst the newly found P&L type was lighter at around +/-23g. It was also noted that a silver base coating was applied to the badge under the gold gilding of the P&L badge that was not found on the other Schickle/Mayer type. Below are a Schickle badge on the left, and a P&L one on the right. Note the slight differences in the design/finish taking special note of the differences in the explosion spray pattern at the 12-1 o'clock position as the most obvious difference.
The 'angle filed' hinge is interesting as it's one of three variants found on early tombak Schickle/Mayer Panzerkampf Abzeichen's, I showed one last week, and the catch is I think, identical to some that were used on those firms EK1's at sometime. This probably is the reason that the P&L made badge was for many years thought to be made by one or both of these companies until the newly discovered catalogue proved otherwise.
Above for comparison, the same style 'angle filed' hinge variant found on some of the early Schcikle/Mayer design Panzerkampf Abzeichen's.
Regards, Ned.

A very nice addition to your collection Adrian!
Does the front exhibit any cracking due to the vaulting?
Congrats on adding this one!
