Blue HJ Diamond Ground Dug

[Tony Bologna]

Buried in the 70's or a period piece? A blue HJ Diamond was dug up. Could not see any "otto Hoffman" markings.

See minute 3:00 of https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XarOyqqMV_4

Maybe it was just dirt, I've asked for better pictures

In the last part of this movie where he shows all his findings, it looks more like a normal dark red HJ rhomboid instead of blue.

Yes, you guys are probably right. Thanks for taking a look.

Hi guys,

Initially on excavation the HJ badge does look blue, but on cleaning it is clearly red.
Had it been in blue, it would have been a modern fake - all HJ badges were red; blue reproductions began appearing (at least in the UK) around the late sixties and early seventies and all blue "HJ Marine" badges are bogus.

Best wishes,

John.

RZM M1/27 HJ Diamond

The item dug up was an RZM M1/27 Hitler Youth Diamond. A great reference thanks to the person who made the video being nice enough to take pictures and send them to me.
