HJ membership pin

[Retsiger]

I was informed on another forum that this is an outright fake. It is the "funky color" variety mentioned above. Someone else pointed out the "coffin plate" attachment for the pin (meaning it's shape) was also a dead give away. Also that Hoffman never made metal insignia. Anyway...just thought you would all like to see it.

I have the exact same one. The color and markings are identical. I've been slowly going through pieces in my collection with much more thoroughness than I had when I was younger. Still haven't found anything authentic. I'm down four for four now. Almost done with my "hobby."
