Paul, Did this maker always use a round plate to secure the pin to the badge or did they also use the oblong plate.I have read that the oblong plate was indication of a repro.Thanks for any help.
Hi Guy's,
Has anyone of you ever saw a broken or heavy worn HJ shooting badge so you could see how the rifles with the emblem were fixed to the enamelled target. I suppose they used a single rivet that always has been covered by the pin plate?
Regards, Wim :)

Just thought I'd show the shooting books for each badge. The Meisterschütze (master shot) book is rare due to the low amount of these badges which were awarded. You can see cover and inside shots of the book in pictures 1 and 2.
The Scharfschütze shooting book is less rare but still not...
