HJ Raute in Blue.

[Mark Tuson]

Hi Chaps.
Is this HJ Raute in blue real? Its certainly nicely marked Otto Hoffmann and Ges Gesch to the reverse, but no RZM markings.
Would appreciate your thoughts chaps.
Cheers
Mark

to me it looks ok.I have one as well.

[Mark Tuson]

Are they quite common, and are they for the Marine HJ?

I am under the opinion that all non red-and-white HJ diamond insignia are fantasy. I've also seen them in yellow, pink, green, sky blue, and purple.

It's commonly assumed that these multi-colored pins represent different branches of the HJ or represent HJ or like-organizations from countries allied with or conquered by Germany. Beware!

[Mark Tuson]

Oh right, ok cheers for that. I was under the impression that the blue was for the Marine HJ.

Oh right, ok cheers for that. I was under the impression that the blue was for the Marine HJ.

I am far from an authority on HJ items... I just remember stumbling upon multi-colored pins and learning that they were all fakes while I was building my small HJ collection.

I'd wait for other opinions...

I'll move it to the HJ forum......

Otto Hoffman marked fantasy badge. Nothing to do with the M.H.J..

Mark, this blue HJ pin is fantasy in the extreme. Admittedly, they look supurb
in their manufacture, but fantasy all the same. Discard it ASAP...
