Hitler Jugend Leaders Badge. Too good to be true?

[martyboy]

Is this Hitler Youth Leaders Badge genuine?

I have been offered this badge. It certainly looks the real thing.

I imagine the stamp on the rear of the badge is the holder and his

local unit of the HJ.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mart

Save your money it's a terrible fake, regards Paul

Paul is correct, the only one of these made in 1944 has a painted insert, not enameled.
