KM Minesweeper badge – L/16, Steinhauer & Lück

Minesweeper badge – L/16 Steinhauer & Lück, Lüdenscheid. Solid tombac Kriegsmarine minesweeper with factory faulted appearance. The badge remains in wel worn condition with the Tombac showing through and good patina on the front and back. Known S&L variant that was also marked with the L/16 stamp just under the catch, rather uncommon mark for this badge.
Nice ‘has been there’ LDO marked Minesweeper without damage or repairs.
