Minesweeper and coastal artillery

[Spielhahnjaeger]

Do either of these stand a chance? They both look highly suspicious to me, but I've gotten lots of good pieces from this guy so I thought it was worth asking. If they're fake, he certainly doesn't know it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And the other one.

The coastal artillery badge is a good Steinhauer & Lück. Second piece looks period also, but I can not recognize the maker right now.

Both look fine to me.

Hi,
S&L zinc CAB looks like original 'wartime compatible' badge
Zinc Minesweeper it is so called 'straight wave' type (5.2 variation in The Classification Table), presumably made by Shuco.
I enclose two 'straight wave' Minesweepers from my collection for comparison.
Cheers,

Thank you, gents, much appreciated! What's the approximate value of these badges? I'm trying to arrange a trade and want to make sure I don't over or undershoot.

Cab is very common and worn, MS not so common but also not in the best shape. I would say 200-220 eur for both.

Thanks, Hubert, that helps a lot!

Just to clarify, I believe Hubert's estimate is for both badges together and not each.

Here's a past thread on the possible "S.H.u.Co." Minesweeper.
