WW2 German Kriegsmarine Minesweeper Badge

Early wartime tomb-back award Minesweepers battle badge. It was awarded for the completion of three operational sorties. For being wounded during an operational sortie. If the recipient had shown exemplary, conduct in the execution of his duties over a six-month period. For the completion of an especially dangerous mission in a mined area. For serving on escort duty for 25 days or more. If the recipient had participated in a specific mission, that had been successfully completed or if the ship was sunk due to enemy action. The condition is good, slight corrosion to the front, but it still retains some of its original gilt finish. It has a good needle pin on the back with a good strong hinge; the hook catch, to me looks repaired, but this could be me just trying to find fault. All in all still a good example of this badge.
