stu,
I have also sent him a PM expressing the same concerns as you have about these two badges so far no reply.

i posted in the middle of his posting(its in the middle of his thread, although i put sa instead of rad doh!) i hope people take note of the forum guys ,despite the sellers beliefs , these 2 and possibly the third are definite fakes

[Peter J.]

James, if your pm is ignored, I take it appropriate actions will be taken

cheers
Peter

stu

note he has no posts and has currently 11 sales thread on the estand how many are no good????

[stuart a.]

apparently according to the seller the forum moderator has told him that appart from the hj badge the rest are fine , im sorry but that rad badge is def not fine

[James Noble]

He has replied to my PM asking me what he should do with the HJ badge in question I told him that all items that are considered repro's should be moved to the Bazaar section. I’m surprised that forum moderator that he is in contact with about the HJ badge didn’t inform him of that rule.

Yes they definitely have the bad (coffin shaped) pin attachment plate.Bad badges IMO.

[Wim Vangossum]

Agree. The common HJ abzeichen and the RAD are not good.

yep Stu , there is a duty to help sincere newbies , but also a duty to prospective buyers from this forum (too many threads lately about e-stand rip offs), has this guy joined merely to sell off his stuff then disapear?

I don't know what you're all stressing about.

To quote the seller; "there are legit they have come from a serious collector"

To follow up; HJ member pin and Arbeitsdienst most definitely bad. You don't need to have been collecting enamel long to know that those catchplates are a no-no.

As to the other items, well the TeNo looks as if it may have been aged. Of course, it could be genuine but hard to tell from the photos. Similar scenario with the Golden Honour badge.
