Default Unofficial Minesweeping Badge
Admiralty Fleet Order 3117 of 15th August 1940 notes that "Certain ratings in the Minesweeping service are wearing an unauthorised badge which is a rough representation of a mine. This is not authorised and may not be worn. The silver badge is the only one authorised".

The photo shows the official silver badge worn.

Does anyone know what the unauthorised badge looked like please?
