Leistungsabzeichen der HJ Silver and Bronze

[meyle77]

Here is Leistungsabzeichen der HJ in Silver and Bronze.
The bronze one appears to have the pin replaced.
Both are maker marked m1/101.

Any feedback regarding their originality is appreciated !

Thanks !

What does the S marking refer to?

I am not sure what the S stands for but the B stamped into the reverse means it is a replacement. Both look okay to me but the black is the one with a replaced pin. They were awarded in black, bronze and silver.

Both are good ones.

I have a silver one with the S mark.
Just curious if anyone knows what it stands for.

Thanks for the info - as per WAF - The bronze piece was made as a replacement/additional copy and the silver was the award copy.
The one marked S is the weight as the one marked B and detail on both is identical - checked using usb microscope.
As the HJ forum thread - there is no definite answer since it more based on assumptions - very interesting read indeed.
