German WWII Kriegsmarine Minesweeper Badge

A very good condition Kriegsmarine Minesweeper Badge, maker marked RS&S. The badge retains all of its original gilt finish with subtle frosted highlights to the wreath, showing signs of light service wear.

Notably, the reverse pin is slightly twisted—a common field modification seen across Luftwaffe, Army, and Naval awards—intended to secure the badge more tightly to the uniform. A high-quality, well-preserved example with clear evidence of wear in service.
