Opinions needed on several 57-items

[Matthieu]

I've been hunting down some badges, including a Minesweeper for quite some time ...
I guess it looks an ok one, but I'm just wondering what the little circle above the catch might be.

[Matthieu]

I also found this Naval Destroyer badge ... I'm awaiting more detailed pix, but anyone have a go at it ???

[Matthieu]

Other side ....

Hi mathys,

the little circle is a mark from Steinhauer, the minesweeper looks nice but you need pics from the hingeblock to show if it´s a massive block.
The destroyer is a very good early one, you should try to get him
I have one in the same wonderful condition, a little bit worn, a very early characterful piece

What would be aproximate price of this piece?

[Matthieu]

Nice early S&L. Looks like someone tried upgrading it by stamping "800" on the needle ?
Pricewise ... some dealers sell them for 125 € ... I paid between 55 € and 75 € for my EK's.

my thoughts exactly Mathys, some people will think this is in "poor" condition, others, that it has a great "worn" patina!! i would pay 60/70 Euro's for this any day!! nice piece!! -Nigel

Sorry to disturb again, but this weekend is a busy one. My friend has this:

What is it worth? Also were similar ones with numbers like "25" and etc.? And as I understand, it is postwar, because no swastika?

Why are you only iterested in the value?
IMO collecting has nothing to do with value. And the value is just what people want to spend on an item.

There are no pinback in the market at the moment (where I live), so I wouldn't want to overpay.

[LuckyLuudje]

Oké,
If I were you I would pass on it. I didn't see one before, but that doesn't mean a lot.
Maybe others will know and will jump in.

The stickpin doesn't make sence to me. What does the Stickpin mean?
Dit the guy do 35 work outs while he was avoiding bullets ?

I don't know what it is, but it is postwar.
Maybe good, but IMO not a 57 issue.
