HJ Membership badge stickpin unmarked

[HeinrichFuchs]

Hello

Recently acquired this HJ membership pin, though, upon closer inspection, it does not seem like a genuine one. It does have what appears to be 3 small markings on the backside where I assume another catch/needle would be sitting, but it has no other markings besides that. Likewise, it has some slight bleed of red color onto the Swastika on the front. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks, figured as much. Sucks but I guess thats how it goes sometimes, good thing I more or less got it for free, silver lining and all.

The only original needle I know are the miniatures and the only one from a manufacturer M1 / ​​14 (Matthias Oechsler & Sohn Metallwarenfabrik, Werk Ansbach)...


Best regards

I agree on the M1/14 but there are original unmarked pins according to a microanalysis done by Jo Rivett in this thread:

These small stickpins seem to have only been around for a short time in 1933/4 so markings may or may not be evident. Would be useful to add Jo's opinion on your badge into the mix but in my opinion it is not an authentic example.
