What I found interesting is the fact that there is a similar detail on this 16mm Minesweeper as with on full size Minesweeper shown in #5 in this thread.
It may be coincidence, of course.

Hi Andjelo,

No, not coincidence I think. Your 16 mm mini is the same design as my Deumer-attributed example that I opened this thread with several years ago, but the finish is very different. Yours has a gilded reverse and pin and then another type of gilding applied to the obverse.

You can also see that the pin type on yours is very similar to mine (on the left), and this type of knurling on the pin is seen on other Deumer minis as well.

And your 9 mm zinc mini is the same type as Peter's in posts #42 and #43, which might be attributable to F&B. Here's my example of this mini as well.

And here's what I believe is the 16 mm zinc version by the same maker as that 9 mm mini. You can see the same type of pin, and the obverse design matches that on the early L/21 marked minis. (These were also discussed in this thread: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=427403)
