HJ Badges - good or bad?

[Eddieq]

Hi all

HJ badges are not my strong point and I’ve uncovered these that have sat in a box in my storage unit for a while. Can anyone with any knowledge comment on whether they are genuine or fakes please.

Thanks

First up - a gold HJ honour badge

They look alright, apart from badge no.6, and possibly no. 1, not sure on these.

1.  M1/70  HJ Honour Award is a copy unfortunately.

2. Can't make out the maker, is it maker stamped?

3. Can't make out maker ?

4. Looks OK

5. Looks OK

6. I don't like this one either

Hi Kenny

Had it confirmed that M1/70 (badge 1) is a well known copy.

Badge 2 is marked RZM m1/22 (hard to make out the number)

Badge 3 has an RZM mark, the letters BM and M1/122

 

cheers

Badge 3 BM  M1/122 is a known fake, badge 2 looks almost the exact same, so I would say this one was bad too unfortunately.

Hi Kenny

Are all badges marked with a BM known fakes- I’ve got a couple of German youth badges marked the same.

Hi Eddie, sorry I missed this post, yes unfortunately there was no "BM" RZM prefix, they are only found on fakes.
