The underground is like copper or buntmetall...but please take a look on that...
After the introduction of the BdM achievement badges in 1934, books were distributed to BdM members to document progress. These are noted in the orders as Leistungsbuch I and II (bronze and silver). You see the Leistungsbuch I every now and again but I've yet to see a Leistungsbuch II. I'm...
I'm looking for a photo to go into the HJ Wiki page on HJ achievement badges which would ideally show all three badges plus the cloth versions and the miniatures. Can anyone help out? If there are no full sets I'd be grateful for shots of all three cloth, all three minis etc

Hi All,
As a collector of metallic insignia (Tinnies), I am also interested in Table awards/Insignia? (See pictures for more clarification) But as there is such lack of information about this type of award, the assumption that they could be fakes also exists. That means that there are many...
Hi all,

Hi - I just got this at a local flea market the other day. What do you think of it? I wonder about the damage to the back. It almost looks like the Swastika was a separate part, soldered in. What else could this damage be? The front looks ok, so it is puzzling. Another thing. Isn't the "DJ"...
