This Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch was in the same lot as the Verwundetenabzeichen i posted.
To me, it looks ok but what do you guys think?

It looks like a good badge to me, im not sure on the maker.
Whats with the green, Is it just the pic?
Thanks, i think it's just the picture.
Camera has been acting funny lately.
Looks like it's another 'Schickle Design' Mine Sweeper in zinc to me. The round wire catch may be a variant, I'm not familiar with it tbh. The greenish residue is probably the oxidised remains of a copper base coat applied for allowing better adherence of the top finish. Better wait for Martin, Norm's or Jody's better knowledge on these points though.

its a good one.
I agree with Ned, a weathered Schickle-attributed Minesweeper but in Tombak, likely MC# 2.7.3. Can you show the catch to see if it's the round-topped stamped sheet metal type shown here?
Best regards,

Thanks, i'll take some pictures when i have some better lighting
Hi, a nice award by Schickle as Ned has said and in the used/aged condition that I personally like. Leon.
