Minesweeper for review

[Graeme]

Hi Guys

Picked this one up recently. Set up looks like S&L. Is the maker of this badge known?

Also the finish appears to have a coating like varnish. Is this likely to have been applied post war or were some badges finished this way?

all comments welcome

regards
Graeme

hi graeme
im not sure who made this badge it is original and i have seen an iab with this set up before ,i think the finnish looks ok but somebody may have applied a sealant to the badge,

Great find Graeme, thanks for posting it!

Hi Graemes looks good to me

[Aldwyn]

Cool badge!

I can't place the pin... who is the maker? FO?

[Graeme]

I am assuming S&L.

Page 176 of Franks GAB book shows an E-Boat by S&L with what looks to me to be the exact same reverse set up. I don't believe that this type of hinge is used on many other makers, if any..

First time I see that setup on a minesweeper. Nice find Graeme.

I think, going on what we know today, you can safely assume its an S&L.

Graeme: Exciting find.!!! I get a bit of a thrill when these new makers and/or variations are uncovered You must be very pleased.

For me it is nice to have the less common badges or variants.

It would have been great to have found the little round S&L mark on it....but you can't have everything..
