Both of these HJ achievement badges caught my eye for a few reasons.
The first one is marked as Sold on a German dealers site(199956), the second (211963) is still up at €80.-
My problems are, that although they are more than 12,000 numbers apart, they both show the same big, horrible Die flaw, the letters HJ are partly missing !!
The next problem is that the numbers stamped, are exactly the same as the Modern fakes i showed (and bought) on this thread. (see comparison pic below, my fake M1/63 number 114452 compared to number 199956)
The next problem, in so much as it is a "problem" yet, is that on the one that sold, you can clearly see that the edges are flat, and not formed. (see this thread for further info on that)
The next problem, is the top layer of lacquer that seems to be "peeling" off at the tips, as can be observed on other "suspect" badges of this kind.
Any thoughts?
