Hi Petr,

It's the zinc version of the Juncker-attributed Minesweeper. All examples of this zincer show poor detail suggesting a heavily worn obverse die after the very large Tombak production of this badge. They're relatively uncommon compared with the plentiful Tombak version fueling the theory that Juncker changed Minesweeper designs after driving this die into the dust.

None of them retained their finish well so they're not very attractive, but still a must for any Minesweeper variant collector (in my opinion anyway ).

Best regards,
---Norm
