Wim will know for sure about this one. I'm not sure if it should have only one tab on the reverse or two. Wim has a book on gorgets but I don't own a copy, I would hope he will have some information.
 
In first instance this does not look HJ, as the tangs should have a saw-tooth construction in the inner.
All observed HJ gorgets had the saw-tooth construction. Observe the one Lauri posted.

The middle tang should be positioned much lower (in between the two lower holes). All known HJ-
gorgets to exist in collections have the Juncker Berlin marking on the middle tang.
I have not ever seen the tang positioned on to a circle. I would pass on it!

As always there are things not as ordered. Jungvolk-members did not wear gorgets
with their flags. The only reason this lad is wearing a HJ gorget could be the fact
he was the official flag bearer for this occasion while the lad that normally did
carry the flag was ill or absent (credit photo: Clyde R.Davis).
