M1/3 Max Kremhelmer, authentic?

How does this look to folks? I found this on a site with a blue Otto Hoffman HJ membership badge.

looks ok to me.a bit salty.

I've seen this maker before on the forum and the pin setup and marking looks very similar to that one.
The front looks good, a bit salty as Harry stated so it should be cheap.

A blue HJ enamel badge marked with Hoffman?? Stay away from it! Don't buy it, it's a total fantasy badge.

Read here. The forger made those badges in yellow too.

I kept my yellow one. Maybe people will collect those one day.

The site where I found the badge in the first post not only had a blue HJ Hoffman badge, they also had a "BM 1/122" HJ badge with transitional number and RZM mark (which had a small 11 under the M). They wanted $220 for the BM 1/122. I wanted to say something, but I'm not much of an authority. It's sad though...someone is going to end up purchasing that thing.

Ah OK you was aware of the 1/112 already, good job

Yeah it's sad. But you can't fight all the sellers who have crap on their sites
