My HJ Leistungsabzeichen - early pieces

[Schoenwurf]

Hi all,

I´ve recently purchased from a friend these 3 early HJ Leistungsabzeichen :
#658 (black version converted to silver - attachment replaced)
#2171 (bronze)
#2174 (silver)

By any chance is someone able to attribute those badges ? I know there is no list of recipients but who knows…

And is any Leistungsabzeichen under #658 known to have survived ?

Thank you !

Jo even had the number 72 once!

Very nice. I love these early achievement badges We do have a project here that aims to identify badge holders but yours aren't currently listed there unfortunately. Maybe in time some documentation might be found though.
