Hallo !
Look at my collector homepage
http://communities.msn.no/Tyske2WWKrigsmedaljer/htm
Under Originale Kriegmarine Abzeichen you will find a R.K maker marked KM Minesweeper badge . Look for the incrimped catch and the maker mark . But I think I have seen a varition on this R.K badge . ( Rudolf Karneth & Sohne ) .
The badge is in bad condition , it was found in a German shelter after the war .

Hi Stijn. This is the early brass (tombak) RK badge. Note that it has the stylized "RK" mark. The zinc badges have the "straight" un-stylized lettering.

Badges etc .. received

Hello,


I receieved the grouping today in the mail and the Minesweepers badge looks really nice ( sorry no pictures for the moment ) , it is exactly thesame type as shown by our good friend Chall.

THis piece seems almost not worn at al => the silverwash on the waterfountain is 99 % present and the gold finisch is extremely wel kept

Another lucky find that came with the grouping was a round 3 ( first type => with stepped core ) iron cross 2nd class, etc ...

Greetings and thanks for helping,

ps : do not worry, sooner or later pictures wil follow
