all lovely badges ron only the 36 and 37 missing, i have them all bar the 1936 badge which is very hard to find

Stuart,

Many thanks!

You indicated that the 1936 was a "bloody nightmare" to acquire.

Perhaps someone has one and can post a photo......

Best regards,

hi ron

heres a pic of the hard to find 36, i think its rare due to design looks so easy to break, by the way if anyone finds one let me know lol

I remember this badge when it first surfaced on the HJ site, why
is it so rare i wonder. Turned up on Weitze,s site i think, i don,t
buy into the theory that because it is fragile few survived.
There are lots of paper and plastic stickpins/tinnies still about
why should this be any different. Could be few were given
out for some reason, a mystery why they are so uncommon

hi mametz

have to remember not all tinnies where worn a lot where left over after events where as these where worn by the participents and officials but i agree you would expect to see more of them about, whi knows why they are so hard to find

I have seen a 1938 badge where the HJ diamond was attached by two prongs being bent over on the back of the badge. Could this be acceptable on an original badge? Mike

Yes there are two different versions of the 1938 badge
