S&L tombak Minesweeper

[BubbaZ]

Guys,
Here is another recent addition - not easy to find, tombak unmarked S&L Minesweeper badge with round wire question mark catch, variation 2.5.2 in the MS Classification Table. I was looking for this variant for quite a long time.
Cheers,
Hubert

Thanks Norm and Greg!
S&L tombak Minesweepers are quite uncommon but the quality is very high.
Here are two other tombak S&Ls from my collection, both represent variation 2.5.3 in the MS Classification Table, sadly second one is partialy denazified.
Cheers,
Hubert

I like these de-nazified MS badges. I tend to believe they were worn by German sailors postwar cleaning up the minefields.
