I found these badges of all places at the bottom of a fishing tackle box a couple of years ago at a garage sale. I was excited until i saw the rare Hitler Youth badge with oakleaves but i still always had questions about the HJ marksman badge any thoughts? both post war?

Hi
Sorry to say but in my humble opinion both of these badges are without doubt copies.Amongst other things, the workmanship and pin plate shapes are all wrong.

I agree, bad on both counts I'm afraid.

Yes - these badges are best left in the tackle box to sleep with the fishes.
