What a pity. I saw these in the early 90's and they certainly fooled me. I almost paid $350 for it when that was a fortune to me. Yeah, it's too good to be true. There was another HJ badge that came in 3 colors, similar to the prestigious award for foreigners badge. An oval with a two parts metal assembly affixed with rivets, etc. such a pity that people faked so heavily for money. I mean, it'd still fetch a good amount even if it was marked as fake.
