Might as well just assume everything is fake until proven original?

It's like "guilty" until proven "innocent" but clearly, there is no reason for a collector to consider otherwise or locate a definitive resource that can be called upon to un-question the questionable.
Is there any other way?

all of the badges where you show the reverse are post-war. The marine-hj never used those blue pins. For more on that you can search here on waf or on hj-research. The m1/63 basic shooting badges are also to be viewed with much suspicion.

Again, where are the mods? This thread needs to be cleaned up if it is going to be a useful resource. Too many fakes that aren't being picked up/commented on.

Found 2 German pins in my attic, one is HJ ...

Hi! This is my first post on this forum. I purchased a home almost exactly 1 year ago. The home is about 15 years old. This spring we noticed some scratching in the ceiling,so I climbed into the attic to deal with the mouse problem. After a few trips up, I started noticing things like Christmas ornaments and other trinkets laying in the insulation. Being the treasure hunter I am,I made a special trip up just to look through the insulation. In the process I found the first pin. What I found to be an HJ proficiency medal after some research. The next day I found the second pin, which I believe to be a general assault medal? Not sure on either though. I am hoping to sell these pieces,as I have other non related collections and I feel someone else could appreciate these pieces of history more than me. I am just trying to get connected with some collectors who may be interested. Or anyone who knows a good place to meet potential buyers. Either way, I am ecstatic to have found these treasures and am proud to show them off!Hopefully I uploaded the pics correctly lol. I hope you all enjoy, and thanks for any info anyone can give.

While I agree with using scientific tools i have no interest in listening to who ever that is and his 'how much trivial swearing can I fit in one sentence and still repetitively bash a few dealers and authors' tirade. Don't get me wrong, if someone is promoting garbage, mistaken, or selling fakes... Let us know, but grow up.
