I'm looking through the regulations in order to fully understand the chronology of the Motor-HJ sleeve patches in order to put a HJ wiki page together but I'm stuck on one of them. On the 18th of Sept 1933 the list of specialist patches was published by the RJF and this shows a patch for 'Kraftfahrer' (drivers) that is described as having 6 spokes and aluminium thread. In Bekleidung u. Ausrüstung der HJ 1934 the patch is again shown but there it is described as having 8 spokes and aluminium thread. Here is Joe's example of an 8-spoke patch with aluminium stitching.
What I'm trying to establish is when that patch was discontinued and the version with silver/grey thread (below) was introduced, I assume, to replace it.
I've got plenty on the other patches for the Motor-HJ but as I say, for this one I can't find a date for the changeover from stitched aluminium to normal silver/grey thread. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
