Kriegsmarine Minesweeper War Badge 'Schwerin'

Kriegsmarine Minesweeper War Badge (Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boot-Jagd und Sicherungsverbände). The MinMinesweeper War Badge was instituted on 31 August 1940 by Oberbefehlshaber der Kriegsmarine und Großadmiral 'Erich Raeder'. The badge is an early 'Buntmetall' (tombak) version in, the badge is showing great details. The badge is complete with a functional pin and catch. The badge is nicely maker marked with 'Fec. Otto Placzek Berlin, Ausf. Schwerin-Berlin'. The badge has regrettably been denazified, see photos. Still a nice original badge in good condition!
