Just noticed this HJ achievement book on a dealer's site. This boy, if you go by the entries, joined the DJ on the 20th of April 1944 which was one day after his 14th birthday. Okay, very odd of course but if you then look at the second scan which is of the DJ achievement badge award page you can see that he was apparently awarded badge serial number 232350 on the 6th of August 1944. That's the clincher because at that time the DJ achievement badge serial numbers being awarded were in the 600000 range (see this thread). The badge serial number in the achievement book corresponds to 1942 when this boy was of course only 12 and not even a member of the DJ apparently. There are no stamps on the award page anyway so for me this is a blank book which has been embellished to make it more valuable/attractive.

I would have paid around 30 dollars for a nice unissued book .
However; I would only pay mabye 12 dollars for one that has been faked .
