Hi fellow collectors.

Now I got them all: normal size, 16 mm miniatures and cloths version.:001_smile:

I believe that they all are there, because I have never seen the leaders badge in cloth version, and think that it never existed ???

I enjoy it, and hope that you do. We collectors can, if any, sing along with Queen on their song "I want it all"

Great set ...But you now need the DJ Leistungs Abzeichen set also .
 
Hi Joecool

You got a point about the DJ-set - I am not sure, but maybe I have "completed mission" on them too, but I am not quite sure. I miss the cloth version of the black one - IF IT EXIST, I have never seen a black cloth-version. Here is my DJ-set:

Do any of you guys about a cloth-version of the black one ???

Not quite all of them. You are missing a "converted" badge. Known, and even observed in period images, is that many HJ lads converted their black badges to create a silver version. (By scraping/sanding) all the black off the obverse.
So a full set should include a converted badge as well :swiss
It should, really, also include B-versions of all badges too - to be complete.
 
Hi Jo

I WILL GO FOR IT (the converted):good:

Michael, that's a fine grouping but don't forget the other makers, I am over ten of these and still looking for other makers than what I have as yet but it's a lot of fun. Enjoy and thanks for posting those beauties, Michael
