HJ pin opinion

[JasonS]

I picked this up in a trade for some ammo.

I no longer want it for my collection. Could anyone please tell me if it is a good pin and approx value?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, it is a fake.

I agree with Jo.

The attachment on yours, is not TR period, it is what i call the "Pea pod" attachment, and is found on plenty of post war cheaply made fake enamels. Below are a few. The fake square Dutch badge, comes from THIS THREAD, where, sadly, E V E R Y single badge shown is fake - yet given good reviews here.....

If you find this pea pod, it means that a post war attachment has been fitted to an original badge, or if it was not replaced, it means the same as the coffin pin-- nonsense, toss it.

Thank you all. Into the rubbish bin it goes. Thankfully I am only out a few dollars worth of ammo.
