M1 / 120 HJ Gold Honor Badge

Hello Gents,

Looking for opinions on this M1/120 Gold HJ Honor Badge. I've tried to search other threads on Hitler Youth Gold Badges, but couldn't find a pic showing this particualr maker. I find it weird that the maker mark and RZM mark are underneath the pin set-up. Does this conform to known originals, or is this a post-war copy?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It's the Deumer with vertical placed mm. I'm not a fan of it. It breaks completely with all other genuine Deumer pieces. The "B" marked, the serial number marked, and the re-issued pieces with erased serial number. All these have the same positioning of the "M1/120" and the "RZM". The badge showed above has a cavity for the pinplate and a different placed mark, not following the normal Deumer product...

Regards, Wim
