my 5 cents ...
Paul,
I'm always open persuasion, post 6 you write - " One thing I do not like about the version shown is the rough DESCHLER logo" - any chance of posting a picture of a rectangular pin plate with a Deschler & Sohn - München 9 marking, which you consider good.
Regards

I know you are not talking to me, but i will chip in here.. these kind of
Deschler hand stamps on pins are common, very common, and Deschler used this kind on many different Badges/Awards.
I cant speak about the HJ badge as i don't have one, am not interested in them, but what i can speak about is the Pin Plate and the name, i cant see anything out of the ordinary here, in fact i would place money on it being a 100% genuine
Deschler pin plate. The picture to the left here, shows a Genuine Deschler pin plate on top, (badge in question is a
Hans Schemm commemoration badge in bronze from 1935. You will note the small letter "
E" in München, that measures 0,3mm. Both badges shown here are identical to a known 1935
Deschler pin plate.

Right is the culprit
Schemm (a really common badge worth no more that €10.-, yet still worth picking up and keeping for moments like these, or to use as a replacement pin) and left is an enlargement of the original pin plate.
