re: HJ Führersportabzeichen
Hi Militarymania,
Please can you explain WHY this is a fake, like pin or detail etc so I can learn the trade. I am getting better at filtering out the junk, but have not come across this one before.

re: HJ Führersportabzeichen
Hi Al, that fat looking pin is totally incorrect.
These badges are really high quality with a fire gilt finish. I remember seeing my first one 34 years ago, but it was not cheap, even back then, and I could not afford to buy it.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: HJ Führersportabzeichen
look at the crispness of Ade's badge compared to the fake i posted,,,lots of differences,,,pin is wrong,,soft or smudgy RZM marking,,,these are the most noticeable red flags,,,

Re: HJ Führersportabzeichen
What about that large B? Is that also bogus, or is that OK to be on the badge? I never had a B on any of my HJ badges...

'B' was marked on replacement badges, I believe........

Re: HJ Führersportabzeichen
Thanks for the clarification Ade, the difference in detail is amazing. I remember the same with a Das Reich cuff title I looked at that looked like raised letters it was so bold and clear, whereas the repro was a bit fuzzy around the edges. Another lesson learnt.

Re: HJ Führersportabzeichen
My pleasure Al.
Steve is correct on the "B" marking.
Cheers, Ade.
