2.1.1 - Juncker - attributed

John,
this badge is unmarked and this type of badge has been discussed before with Juncker being the possible maker.The reverse hardware is very similar to that on their Auxiliary Cruiser and Coastal Artillery badges.

Regards,Martin.

1.2.1 - Deumer - Tombak

John,

Here's a couple; I won't waste space and post my R.K. and Schwerin pieces as Darrel and Martin have already posted those types, but do keep in mind that the maker's mark on the zinc R.K. versions sit a little lower on the blast wave.

Here's a vertical pin Deumer. They are hard to find and unfortunately this one has a replaced catch. Note the die characteristics as the one that follows will be an unmarked Deumer with horizontal pin. The die traits are the same.

1.2.4 - Deumer - Tombak (horizontal pin)

Deumer horizontal pin, unmarked. Note, I am not showing the standard straight-on approach for the reverse shots so members can see the hardware better.

2.11.1 - Wilhelm Hobacher - zinc

John...my contributions are minimal (and late as I've been away) but I try where I can. As would be fitting I'll show a WH first.

I'll post photos of others later.

2.12.1

Here is a zinc "Wiedmann" Minesweeper with an oval-shaped hinge. I think these are also seen with the more traditional "UU"-shaped hinge.

2.7.5 - Schickle-design - marked L/18 by Mayer

A rare Schickle-design Minesweeper that has been stamped L/18 by B.H. Mayer, posted previously by Erik (ekrogh).
Comparison to the Schickle catalog supplement shows the identical type complete with the distinctive swastika flaw.

1.3.1 - Assmann - Tombak

Here's a hand-vaulted example that's seen a bit of use. Of note is the high quality and robust "feel." The hinge block is more delicate than the Schwerin version, but has held up well.
