The Souval minesweeper is ok, but I'm not able to make a decision on the coastal. The front looks really nice and detailed, but the back if far from I would like to see...Kind regards,

Hi vitts,
The Souval Minesweeper appears correct for a wartime award.
The Coastal is imo a cast repro (probably an older one), going by the recesses on the reverse and the imo non-period hardware.

The RS Minesweeper looks good to me.However,from the photo's,it looks like the catch may have been replaced.
The Artillery badge looks like a copy IMO.

The catch on the minesweeper is broken off. I was suspicious of the coastal artillery badge so the gentleman said to just take it.
he was a vet stationed in germany for 20 years starting in 1963 and then worked for the government in germany for another 15. Like he said if he got only one bad piece in over
30 years he did pretty good.
