    Minesweeper-Assmann fake????

    Hi folks!!!

    I have here a heavy bend tombak Minesweeper from assmann. The funny thing is that the markers mark is punched into the medal. I know that assmann did not produce a lot of minesweepers. Does somebody know more about assmann minesweepers??? All opinions are welcome. Please help. Do I have a fake???

    Regards
    Thomas

          Hi Thomas and welcome to the forum!

          From what I can see, the badge appears to be a tombak example retaining decent finish. I think it's been cleaned, giving it a false waxy/cast appearance from the reverse. The hardware is known from other originals but those badges are normally unmarked (possibly Juncker's). From what I can see of the obverse design, this is not the known Assmann design. As such, I'd suggest that the maker mark has been added - possibly wartime (if you use the "Assmann outsourced some stock from another maker to fill an order" line of thought) but probably post-war to increase value (everyone loves a maker mark after all!).

          Regards
          Mike

              Looks like a Original Minesweeper badge with a bogus Assmann stamp on it. Thats how a Original Assmann Minesweeper should look like.

                Strange one. Looks like the type attributed to Juncker with a bogus MM. Personally I would need to see better scans before making a conclusion on originality, though. Any chance of a brighter scan with a white background?
                Cheers,
                Brian
