I just purchased this Minesweeper Badge recently and as it is my first KM badge I would like to learn some more about it. The catch looks familiar to me from what little I know about my EK's. I will not show my ignorance and venture a guess though but let you KM collectors fill me in! Thank you all in advance!

Regards,

Hi Jeff,
You have a mint zinc unmarked Minesweeper made by Wilhelm Hobacher, Vienna. These WH zincers exist as marked (on main pin) and unmarked variant.
Main pin in your badge looks odd as I have not seen so far WH minesweeper with round wire pin hence there is a risk it was replaced. Can see any signs of repair on the hinge pin?

I enclose my WH Minesweepers for comparison.
First one is unmarked.
Cheers,
Hubert

Its a good minesweeper in very good condition but as Hubert says the pin could be replaced
