Original Waffen SS Former
Hitler Jugend Members Sleeve Diamond- (Vorigmitglied
HJ Ärmelabzeichen)- The wearing
of specific, identifying, trade or specialty badges was an old tradition in
the German army and was adopted by the SS to distinguish personnel who had
successful completed the appropriate course and had achieved proficiency at a
particular trade, specialty or function. The Waffen-SS instituted a series of
six, former service identification sleeve badges that followed the same basic
format of the trade, specialty and assignment sleeves badges. These former
service identification sleeve badges were designed to indicate the wearer had
served in an approved political or para-military organization before entering
the Waffen-SS. This example was designed for wear by former Hitler Jugend
(Hitler Youth) members.
The Sleeve Diamond is about 75mm tall, 45mm wide, vertical, black
wool diamond base with a machine embroidered HJ diamond in silvery/white and
black threads with the black replacing the red of the original HJ diamonds.
The HJ insignia is in the form of a vertical diamond with black top and bottom
quarters and silvery/white side quarters with a central, black, canted,
swastika superimposed on a silvery/white diamond background field. It is
missing the RZM Tag and someone has used some glue to glue it down to a cloth,
which there is some remaining. The
insignia is in overall excellent, unissued condition.

Original Hitler Jugend Motor
Class "A" Qualification Sleeve Badge (HJ-Prüfung
Abzeichen)- Established in early 1933 in cooperation with the NSKK, National
Sozialistische Kraftfahr Korps, (National Socialist Motor Corps), the Motor-HJ
was the earliest, and largest specialty section of the Hitler Jugend. The age
entry level for the Motor-HJ was fifteen years old and the first year was
spent on driving theory and practical mechanic training until the member
reached sixteen years old and was eligible to qualify for his driver’s
license. The Motor-HJ established the Motor Qualification Badge in three
classes of A, B, and C with each subsequent class being more complex and
detailed then its predecessor. The class A badge was the lowest of the three
and the qualification for award was divided into four sub-categories
consisting of knowledge of driving, vehicle repair, laws and road signs and
driving proficiency. The badge was worn on the lower left sleeve of the brown
shirt and service tunic.
The sleeve badge is roughly 1 7/8" diameter, pink
wool construction badge with a machine embroidered, eight spoke steering wheel
in silver/grey threads to the center. The reverse of the badge has a ribbed
tan cotton twill backing and the original white paper RZM/HJ tag with red
printed script and black ink stamped manufacturer’s numerical code. The tag
has both the red printed RZM logo and the HJ diamond. The original RZM Tag is
there and someone has used some glue to glue it down to a cloth, which once
removed it has torn some of the RZM tag. Excellent
example and in unissued condition. $75.00
Original German WWII Black
Wound Badge, 1939 (Verwundeten-Abzeichen, Schwarz)-
The wound badge was originally established on March 3, 1918 by King Wilhelm II
to recognize the sacrifice of those wounded during WWI. The badge was
instituted in three classes of black, silver and gold with the class bestowed
reflecting the number or severity of the wounds received. With the outbreak of
WWII, on September 1, 1939, Hitler re-instituted a slightly modified version
of the badge. The badge was awarded to both military and uniformed
non-military personnel and later to civilian personnel who received wounds as
a result of enemy actions.
The 1939 pattern, die stamped, magnetic sheet metal
construction, hollow backed badge with a black wash. The badge is in the form
of an embossed, vertically oval, laurel leaf wreath encompassing an embossed
profile of a helmet with swastika to the center, superimposed over crossed
swords on a pebbled base field. Most of the original black paint is worn off
and having been worn down to the base metal. The reverse of the badge is a
mirror image of the obverse and has a crimped, soldered hinge, a thin, round,
vertical pin and a heavy, soldered catch all intact. The reverse of the badge
is well marked with two faintly embossed manufacturer’s numerical code,
"65", both indicating manufacture Klein & Quenzer of Idar/Oberstein.

Original SA Long Service
Chevron (Winkel für dienst Angehörige der
SA)- As with other NSDAP organizations the SA introduced a Long Service
Chevron on February 3, 1934 to identify the SA Alte Garde, (Old Guard), those
personnel who had been members of the SA, before January 30TH 1933. The
significance of membership in the SA or other NSDAP organizations prior to
January 30TH 1933 was that it was before the NSDAP and Hitler held any
official power within
Germany
. The SA Long Service Chevron was intended for wear on the upper right sleeve
of brown shirt the service tunic and the greatcoat by all eligible SA
personnel. The SA Long Service Chevron was replaced with newly introduced Long
Service Sleeve Stripes sometime prior to the war.
The chevron consists of a machine woven, bright,
gilded/aluminum, waffle patterned, "V" chevron with two, interwoven,
narrow, parallel brown stripes situated near both the inside and outside
edges. The chevron does not have
any backing. The insignia is in
overall good condition with light age toning.

Original NSKOV Visor Cap Eagle (Mützen Abzeichen)- The NSKOV,
"National Sozialistische Kriegsopferversorung" (National Socialist
War-disabled-support [Organization]), was formed in 1930 and institutionalized
in 1933, as an associated society assisting NSDAP party members who had become
disabled as a result of war injuries. This form of cap badge was used
between 1937 and 1940, those after 1940 having a right-facing eagle.
The stamped alloy visor cap badge is approximately 1 7/8"
square, in the form of a stylized eagle with down-swept wings, clutching
"NSKOV" in its talons, and with that organization’s emblem
superimposed to its breast. The emblem is comprised of a black mobile swastika
within a circle bordered in red, the circle set against a black Iron Cross,
and the Iron Cross set against a vertical sword, which has an oval oak leaf
wreath surrounding it. The front appears to be a subdued gray and the back is
painted silver. Original pin back
device is complete. RZM marked with 1/52 for maker’s code.
Excellent condition. $40.00

Collar Tabs (Kragenpatten)- The M35 dress
tunic was introduced for wear by all ranks on June 29TH 1935 as the walking
out, parade and ceremonial dress with the piped, stone grey long pants. The
design of the M35 dress tunic was based on the Imperial German army’s
service tunic but was a different color and generally of much higher quality.
The collar tabs utilized on the M35 dress tunic were also generally of much
higher quality then those worn on the service tunics or field blouses and were
generally worked in bright silver and mounted on branch of service colored
bases.
Nice original quality M35 dress tunic collar tabs
feature machine woven litzen in bright, silver/aluminum flat wire threads with
interwoven bright, silver aluminum. These
collar tabs were universal and can be mounted on any branch color backing. The
collar tabs are in excellent condition with light fraying. $15.00/Pair
Original DJ Sigrune Sleeve
Badge (Armscheibe)- The DJ, Deutsche
Jungvolk, (German Youth), originated in
Vienna
Austria
in 1929, and was eventually to become the young branch of the HJ, for boys
from 10 to 14 years old. The sigrune first became associated with the DJ on
November 9TH 1929, the sixth anniversary of the failed Beer Hall Putsch, when
the Gauleiter of Vienna presented them with their first official flag,
consisting of a black field with a central silver sigrune. The sigrune was
adopted as the official emblem of the DJ and it began to be worn as an
unofficial badge of rank for NCO personnel and was rendered in the Oberbann
color of the unit the individual was attached to. In 1933 the sigrune sleeve
badge became an official piece of insignia and by 1935 the pattern of the
badge was standardized.
Two machine woven, white Sigrune on a red oval field
with a 50mm diameter. Still on its original tan factory roll backing material.
One is slightly damaged. Comes
with 2 decorative pins that were sold by DJ, Hitler Youth to raise money.
Very nice examples. ON
