        Hi Military Trader,

        All if the HJ Items are fake. Funny to see the yellow and white one Otto Hoffmann, only this name is enough for a orange-red flag to be raised.

        Regards

            So how about the other badges -- any real?

              I don't like any of the badges, their quality is far inferior to originals.

              The KFZ (Kraftfahrzeug) licence plate in the first post has a chance, but they are relatively easy to fake. It may be wise to not spend any money on any of these items and search for something better.

                  from a licence plate of a vehicle registration given by the "Landrat des Kreises Alsfeld" for the "Kreis

                  Alsfeld" (Alsfeld district).

                  Alsfeld is the name of the capital town of the district.

                    Only the red license plate tag has a chance - the rest are poor fakes and/or fantasy badges.

                      Thanks everyone -- I knew some were bad but some of the enamel looked good to me. The guy was awfully proud of these at his shop -- He wants close to $500 for them. I tried to show him some of your remarks but he refused to read them -- he said you're all wrong and he'll get 5 times the $500 for these rare badges

                        Of course we're all wrong

                        5 times 500 for that crap... must be a really nice and trustworthy shop?

                          Toatlly -- the only reason I go in there is that people do bring in good stuff to him from time to time. I did buy a nice double decaled 42 pattern police helmet for $75 -- however right next to it was a junk biker painted helmet for $800. Go figure.

                            Ask him if he'd like to buy any more... I'll only charge $300 each

                              Splendid idea

                                I don't beleive so -- this is the type of guy that would give you $20 for a SS dagger and sell it for $10,000. he won't give over $50 for ANY helmet. He once turned down a SS gorget (from a vet's widow) that was the real deal (saw it at a show later from someone who did buy it). he offered her $40 for it -- she sold it to a pawn shop down the road for the $100 she was asking. So even if your pins were real he buys real low and trys to sell high. Sometimes he gets excited about something and does pay big but he does get saddled with a lot of fake stuff. But every once and a while though I can sneak up on something ----- eg. I bought a nice army dagger and rig for $300 from him not long ago.
