We have talked about the mystery mark before. Hank was the last to get one to my knowledge prior to this nice grouping.

Thread 139090.

Jeff is right, you need to take some precautions with this badge. Many threads on the forum on how to do this, worth looking them over. Check out the Conservation/Safe Keeping Forum

The consensus of forum members like Hank that have been around a while and have a lot of experience with Minesweeper badges is that this badge is a good one, but unkown "mystery to use the forum term" badge.

So you are correct. Good badge, very hard to find, but unknown maker.

As part of a grouping, if you can do the research on zinc pest, you have a great bit of history and a substantiated badge with full provenance. Not much more you can ask for there.

I did not see it in Sascha Weber's book, at least I did not see it, but the badge is a good one especially with the nice presentation you have shared with the forum.

Please read Hank's thread on this, he had a bit of luck getting his, so PM him I would advise and ask about it.

Wow John, I didn't realize you feel so strongly about this.... ......I guess I am blessed to live in So Cal and have so much eye candy lying around.

Type "LM" into the search function and you will find a lot of helpful threads from the past. This badge and maker was discussed pretty often. No reason to doubt it.

I just called John, he said if they walk, they qualify.

I wish I would have seen your posting earlier! I have a picture of Hugo Schorr that is signed on the reverse!

Unfortunetly I put it up for sale on eBay about five days ago. (# 6633017532) If I would have known you had such a great grouping I would have offered you the photo straight away.
