Kriegsmarine minesweeper badge – Adolf Scholze, Gablonz

Kriegsmarine minesweeper badge – Adolf Scholze, Gablonz. Early war solid tombac ‘Minensucher’ with A.S. design. Remains in well worn condition and retains most of the silver finish in patinated condition with some of the gold still present on the nicely worn wreath. Interesting variant with the thin pin normally found on the earl Rk marked examples. Attributed to A.S. due to the design matching the marked late war example. More uncommon variant.
