Deutsche Jungvolk (DJ) Leistungabzeichen

[Rossi]

Hello,

Did some looking around and study and may pick one of these 2 up. Not my main area of expertise but feel based on what I have seen these are good zinc specimens. First one is not numbered. Deutsches Jungvolk silver-class being a maker RZM - M1/120 - Wilhelm Deumer.

The second is a B Class Marked and is M1/15 RZM - Ferdinand Hoffstätter also I believe as zinc material. The Second example is a little nicer condition.

What do you think or any opinions? Thanks in advance! Rossi

Go for the M1/15. Easier to get hold of the M1/120 later on should you choose to purchase another one.

Thanks Stig. Appreciate the feedback. Like the look of the M1/15 better anyway. Grateful for your opinion. Have a good one! Rossi

The RZM 120 looks too pitted to me, either ground dug, or cast.
On the 15, you should determine if the "B" mark is stamped, or raised.
I recently purchased a HJ leistungabzeichen that turned out to be a copy, it had a raised "B" marking on it.
It is considerably lighter that an original.
