HJ pins...Opimions Please

[Denred]

Got these today and was wondering if they're genuine so I thought I'd ask the experts.
Thank you for your time.

The two HJ membership pins look fake to me , the rally pins might be OK . IMO

Could be wrong, but I have not seen the pins fixed in this way on a sportsfest tinnie, material don't look correct either.

Marked M1/13 and RZM

rear of pins

[John Brandon]

personally I wouldn't have any of these. The "tinnie" should look like this one.... ( it is mines so i'm not copying)

[TIMOWSKI45]

This is one of mine for comparison.

[Wagriff]

I would not have any of the 4....sorry

[Denred]

Thank you for your input. I'm convinced about the sportsfest pins being reproduction but I'm still skeptical about the membership pins. The painted one is marked M1/185. Is it just me or does the attachment method seem too elaborate for a fake? Oh well, I only paid $20 for the set of 4 so I'm not out much.

On the list of makers on th hj research forum, m1/13 is said to be opaque enamel. M1/185 ,could it be an unfinished badge someone has painted and attached a pin? I dont know.
Kind regards
