Minesweeper Badges

[pattex]

Hello,
I want to show my 3 minesweeper badges.

From my perspective it's interesting, that both Deumer pieces have a totally different finish. One is matt and one is glossy, but both finishes were factory made.

best regards

Three very nice, and early Minesweepers you have there!!!
Interesting to see the different finishes on the Deumers, both on the obverse, and the reverse silvering!!
This would appear to follow the same pattern as Deumers EK1's (and for the obverse, their EK2'S and RK's too!)
The earlier pieces normally have a matt finish, while the slightly later ones have a glossier finish, as both finishes are present here, its probably likely that the matt finished piece is the earlier of the two??
Also always worth noting that unlike the grey waves on the S&L, the waves are silver/white on the Deumer's. as they usually are on their mini minesweepers on stickpins etc.
Great badges, and thanks for sharing them with us!!!!!!!!

Great badges. I think I like the gray wave variant best.

Oooooooooh....heavenly

The Deumer also comes with two different obverse treatments of the waves -- one all white and the other with darkened recesses. (I'm still looking for an example of the darkened type so here's Stijn's example for comparison. )

Thanks to all!

Does the darkened type also have a glossy finish?

On the pictures it seems so.

PS: Since a few weeks I have the problem, that I get no instant email notification for my subscribed threads. In the control center the "instant notification" is active. Does anybody have the same problem and perhaps a solution ?

Wow, very nice Pattex!

I also have a Deumer with darkened recesses. Same reverse as on your second MS, but without the polishing effects on the obverse.

Great! I've still been unable to find one with the darkened waves. The quest continues.
