Hello,
My name is Matt and I am new to collecting. I acquired this flag and was wondering if I could get any opinions on it. I was told that it was worth approx. $700 USD. The gentleman who expressed the value also asked if the rings were RZM marked. The rings are not marked, does anyone...
I hope somebody here got this one. I watched it for almost a week. If it was still there on Monday I would have bought it as a trader due to the low price (450 usd). Hope somebody here scored this one.
Mr. Saris tells in his book, that the highest number found on a shoulderstrap button was 39.
I want to share some pieces of my collection with you.

The post-1939 appointment system used by the HJ and DJ can be a little confusing so here's a small 'ready reference'.
You can split the TR period into 2 parts for lanyards:
1933 to 1939 - Lanyards denoted rank only.
1939 to 1945 - Lanyards denoted appointment*.
*BDM and JM lanyards were...

I haven't yet found the full requirements necessary before a boy could carry the Bann, Jungbann, Gefolgschaft and Fähnlein flags but I do have them for the girls so here goes and there may well be many parallels between the boys and the girls:
For Untergau and JM-Untergau the requirements for...
As with the special patches for the Bann and Jungbann standard bearers the patches for the lower formations of Gefolgschaft and Fähnlein were also introduced in 1938. The procedure was the same and each standard bearer received three patches from the Bann which were to be returned when he was...
Has anyone ever seen one of these? They are described in the regulations as being the same as the standard Gefolgschaft flag but with the corner patch reversed i.e white stitched letters on black instead of black on white.
Not all Banne were able to raise a full SRD-Gefolgschaft so there...
