        The Otto Hoffmann exist in all colors of the rainbow. The red -white has as least the correct color, but like said all Otto Hoffmann's are fakes. Be very careful when buying small enamel badges. It's a real mine field. Plenty of fakes plus a whole lot of badges which are controversial. The M1-14 maker mark on a shooting badge is such an example. Some enamel collectors (like me) have their doubts that this maker ever made a good HJ shooting award. I got a perfect enameled M1/14 in my drawer, once bought as original but turned out to be a fake. It has burn marks of the torch that was used to solder the pin plate. There are many M1/14's out there with these burn marks and they are not good.


        Regards, Wim

          Thank you Wim for your input. We are always learning....
          One more question regarding the HJ shooting award...the M 1/120 marked on the reverse can be seen or considered as an original badge?

          Regards
