F&B unmarked Minesweeper ?

Hello all,

Is this one original and manufactured by F&B?

Please let me know either way. Thank you.

Hi William,

Not very nice quality is it? I believe it's real though. Often mistaken for F&B due to the "inverse-taper" pin, this is actually the zinc Steinhauer & Lück. The pin is ferrous (attracts to a magnet) unlike the F&B tombak pins.

An example turned up on the Lüdenscheid sample boards that were sold on eMedals website a year or two ago and discussed previously (I believe in the Cross forum). They're not uncommon.

Best regards,
---Norm
