fake

Is their a way to tell a Fake from a real, or a real from a fake H.J. Armband. Thank you, Jason 73 U.S.A.

Hi I have pulled this one out of the collection as being v. suspicious. It has the feel of being a well made cap with sign of wear in the right places. However in my research of HJ uniforms I cannot find this colour cap mentioned. The RZM label is (ahem) stapled on. I have seen a...

Some pictures of some HJ jewelry in my collection. I think some are definitely fake (or at least home-made). The large ring with white enamel and the ring with the oversize HJ badge have that look. The two smaller rings do seem to be better made. It is difficult to photo, but the smaller...

Hi All, I am a new member here. I used to collect Third reich items many years ago but drifted to other militaria following deluge of fake items. However, after a recent hitler youth knife purchase, I have found myself drawn back in ! What I do like about collecting these days are forums like...

Hi I have been looking to see what this badge is. It sort of looks like a HJ Honour badge, but in all that I have read in the extensive info and help provided on this site, it is not. One of the obvious difference is that all HJ honour badges (real or fake) have a M1 marking on the rear...

I am assuming HJ because of the centre motiff, Writing around says "ERZBRUDERSCHAFT" and v.HL SEBASTIANUS, with a 25 at the bottom. Manufacturer mark says "E. R. Martin & Sohn Bonn" and GES GESCH. It is well made but I am starting to think it is a genuine badge with a fake HJ badge. It has...

WOW...........This is either an ultra rare version (Which it isn't) or an outright fake (which it is) Description of the proficiency badge.......The reverse is stamped with the individual serial number 558. It is also RZM stamped followed by M1/15, indicating production by Ferdinand Hoffstätter...

These cuff titles are all over the web for sale and most of them are reproductions, I compared this one to an original in the fake thread where an original and a repro are posted together for comparison & I do believe it is a good one & would like some other opinions.

I started collecting Hitler Youth knives a little while back. My collection is small and I'm still constantly learning about them. A friend of mine new I collected them and discovered this in a shop overseas and brought it back to me. Is this an incredible fake or an incredible find? I've tried...

Look for opinions on the attached badge. Fake or real? Confuses the absence of stamps, except GES. GESCH. Sincerely, Alex

After years of talking about these badges, multiple threads and comments from many members and hours upon hours of research, the truth is rather simple. This thread has been pinned for easy reference. 1. The first manufacturer responsible for making the new shaped Hitler Youth Membership...

Hello Everyone Sometime ago i saw someone posting an armband he had purchased on facebook. I noticed this armband looked a little bit odd to me (I aint a real expert in armbands). Now i do have some pictures of this armband and i wanted to do more research on this item. As far as i know...

This knife was sold as genuine. I know the scabbard is fake but what about the knife ?

I found the following on weitze and would like to confirm that it is a fake or good. From some of Jo's videos I almost looks like the pin has the nipple he finds on the fakes: Thank you for the help Admin Edit: please upload pictures of items under discussion as opposed to just the link...

I guess the sellers just chose to ignore the letter BM/ and simply list them as M1/122 :nono: (or as Ratisbons Auctions has, simply M1/22.) In any case, just a quick heads up to let you know that there are many fakes in the upcoming Ratisbons auction. Nothing unusual there i know, but seeing as...

We were talking about these on the fake thread a while back.. here is a modern BM M/122 with a cerrtificate of authenticity :lol::pound: LINK

hello, I have a problem with this Deumer. Will you help me in evaluating its orginality ? thank you.

If there ever was a contender - this would be it! Actually being sold as an original -

Hello, Could someone take a look at these two different printed armbands. One has a interesting diamond swastika.
