    Hitler youth pins

    Not my thing at all. I picked these up at a flea market. The first question is- what are they? The second is- are they any good? They were cheap so what the heck. I have tried to look these up and one appears to be a HJ shooting pin and another an air rifle pin. I have looked at images here and cannot tell what the others are. Any opinons and help appreciated. If they are fake, no big deal.

      Second- air rifle. Again, I don't know if it is good or not. Opinions appreciated.

          Bill,

          First one is definitely bad, check the pin plate, these short ovals with clipped ends are only found on post war badges.

          Second one looks off as well, if the reverse also has the same style plate then........

          Cheers
          Don

                Hello
                The 2 pins are copy to recognize easily by the needle
                This needle is used momentarily with many copies

                    Thank you, gentleman. I appear to be on a roll. There are two more. I assume that the third is bad as well? Again, thank you for the assistance.

                            I must add that these all have an interesting aging technique. Looks like they were left in a bag of charcoal for awhile. Cheers Robert

                              To start with the answer to your question is yes they are all copy’s.
                              The first one is a copy of a Flugmeldedienst abzeichen (Air Warning service badge). Aircraft observation, identification and direction of aircraft and reporting with the use of radar, searchlights, binoculars and hearing apparatus. The second one is also a copy of the HJ-Traditionsabzeichen (Traditional badge of the HJ ). These two badges have nothing to do with shooting. This badge is also a copy of an early type Deutsches Jungvolk ( German Young People). For boys between the ages of 10 and 14. Subdivision of the HJ.
                              The last badge is also a copy of a HJ shooting badge
