Mini Minesweeper Pin Question

[Scott C.]

I'd appreciate opinions on this 16mm mini. The pin is about 5mm shorter that my other mini badge stick pins, and the pin has a lightly grooved spiral rather than the usual knurled "twist" (see comparison photo below). Is this one a or ?

Thanks. Scott

Hi Scott unless its the pics the quality does not appear to be there for me. These awards were well detailed, as for the pin the ones i have seen do not look like that. Do the grooves go all the way round? They all were not the knurled type. All the best

I like it. Could you show us the Auxillery Cruiser badge in a closeup as well? Looks like a nice example.

best,

Thanks guys - mixed opinions on the Mine Sweeper I guess. Yes, my camera is not that good, and the spiral does go all the way round the pin.

Here are some additinal pics of the Aux Cruiser pin - it's for sale on the e-stand with some other pins (I may need to bring the price down as I had nothing to compare it to).

Thats a sweet one

I don´t think, that the twirl on the Minesweeper is really an issue, as i have seen other good ones with this kind of pin.

Hi Scott that is a good sign . Just to let you know i did not say your minesweeper was a fake,but i was concerned about the detail in the eagle and waves but i believe that could be down to the pics. The plate fixing the pin too the reverse is not like the ones i have seen for this mini
but that does not mean it is not right as this style is encountered in minis. Thought i better clear that up. Sorry for the confusion. Nice Aux. All the best
