You will notice that most of the coloured (none red) fakes have the maker mark of Otto Hoffmann. This manufacturer only made and supplied cloth insignia.

The pin plate is also known as the "coffin pin" again post war and always on fakes.

And listed as sold. Another collector fleeced of some funds by these weird colored badges. Shameful.

And they will also be fake, as I said before Otto Hoffmann was a manufacturer of cloth insignia only (mainly for HJ/BDM arm-triangles.)

All otto hoffman badges are fake ..... no matter what color they are.
