Re: Schwerin Kriegsabzeichen für Minesuch - Sicherungsverbände.
Bear in mind this is a zinc badge as can be identified by the plate under the catch. Zinc Schwerin badges don't hold their finish very well and yet here we have a zinc badge with an exceptional finish. The waves should be a grey colour.
The pin and hinge are magnetic.

My very basic knowledge of Luftwaffe badges will show here! I'll go for replaced swastika?

Re: Schwerin Kriegsabzeichen für Minesuch - Sicherungsverbände.
As far as the minesweeper goes, oddly enough, I have, though, seen period examples where the owner took the unusual step of refinishing certain Parts of their KM badges. For example, one I remember, was a Auxiliary Cruiser badge where the owner had highlighted the ship itself but not the globe with a brighter silver coating. Apparently, he must have felt it looked better that way or something. Not enough to get himself hollered at by his superiors, but enough to satisfy himself, I guess!
