Agreed, this one is fugly and not even close...

[Tom Yanacek]

Yes! Send it back.

O.k.- o.k.-o.k.

I thought this would be a nice early schwerin with this silver backside. I had only some doubts about the letters on the back. They were to straight and clear. Does somebody has an original piece to compare??? So I can learn more about this piece.

Thomas

Thanks a lot guys!!!

I saw it now. The fountain is wrong! The gildish is wrong! The catch is too big.

Thanks a lot guys. I send it back at once.

Many regards

Thomas

P.S.

Please look at the new pictures from my last thread. ( Destroyer shuco )

Hi Thomas would agree with the above comments, here is an original zinc example from my own collection. Silver examples are harder to find in zinc.

Thanks for posting this Tom.
It is a typical early example by Schwerin with the silver reverse and domed-head hingepin.One of my favorite Minesweeper awards.

Gary,

that zincer you have is a very nice looking badge.

Hi Mark got it at a local show, guy thought the catch had been
replaced so got it for £75. Have only ever come across one more like this, I believe it was the first of the zinc awards before the more comon finishes came in. All the best
