Dear all (and especially at Jo),
I noticed that the Hoffstätters with FHB maker mark are mentioned in the thread "How many makers of the Hitler Youth Honour Award were there". Are the FHB maker marked badges considered as legit? The used digits are a match with the 'normal' Hoffstätters but the frontal dot design is completely different.
So my questions are: have you had the chance to examine such an FHB piece? Did they used a second die? The FHB maker mark seems to be found on other period pieces but also on fakes like once pointed out by Don Scowen.
The pictures are from a badge once posted by Dion (Mûnster)
Regards, Wim
