transitional

I was offered this set and went ahead and bought them. An odd set, they appear to be transitional straps converted from 1934 pattern straps to post 1938 leadership straps. It appears they were originally for Bann 233 Gladbach-Rheydt of the West/Ruhr-Niederrhein Gebiet and then converted for Bann...

You see this mentioned quite often where people talk about when exactly we can say that items were controlled by the RZM and therefore whether an item should be marked accordingly. The official announcement that the RZM now controlled HJ, BDM, DJ and JM clothing, equipment and insignia was...

Another post which I'm making for the flag lists. This is a Gefolgschafts flag which I think I first saw in 2008. Toby asked for my opinion of it and the photos below are his. There is a thread over on WAF which comments on this flag (and uses a quote from me which came from an email...

Hi All, How are you? What do you think about this HJ knife? good or bad? It is a transitional HJ knife (1936-39), marked M7/13, common one. It has the Motto, and the characteristics of a post 1939. Thanks for your help. regards Antonio

I just saw this on a dealer's site: "This was the third transitional badge before the HJ and DJ introduced the diamond shaped red & white enamel badge in 1933...." I know this as a WHW donation badge but unfortunately I don't have any period sources to prove it. Does anyone have anything...

Hey gang! This baby just arrived today! It's a pretty neat buckle that displays markings that were used for only a very short period of time! I would like to thank Chad for helping me out with this buckle. I knew it was legit - but was looking for more info in regards to the maker: Wilhelm...

This one was posted on the old forum. Just arrived to me through a trade deal with Joecool. Not a very attractive looking strap but a cool period modified version.

RZMSeeing Garry's pre RZM member's badge while reading old threads yesterday http://www.hj-research.com/forum/f23/pre-rzm-hj-membership-badge-512/ reminded me of a transitional piece I have marked to Deschler. An interesting side note is that the mark is impressed. For anyone who hasn't...

I just won this nice "homemade" style transitional set for Bann 55 Lippe. Black strap oversewn on tan straps. Note the chain stitched Bann number, something not normally seen on black straps. The price was great. They will match a couple of DJ straps I have from the same Bann.

Hi everybody, I just joined yesterday and thought I would have a go at posting. Here is some photos of one of my HJ knives, a transitional Eickhorn. I hope I have done this correctly, but bare with me if I havent. kind regards John:001_smile:

Admin edit: Subsequent to this thread in 2016 a HJ-Wiki was installed on the forum. This includes a page dedicated to the HJ knife which now includes a lot of the information given by Mike below plus a load more. The aim of this thread is to show which areas need to be examined when...

HJ Shoulder Staps, an introduction Shoulder straps worn by the Hitler Youth served three basic purposes. They indicated the rank of the wearer, they identified the geographic location of the unit, they indicated the assignment designation of the wearer, and they indicated the branch of the...

This is an odd one. Some sort of homemade variant transitional strap for Bann 75, Obbergebiet Nord, Gebiet 7 Nordsee. IMO this one dates to somewhere between 1936 and 1938 when the switchover to black background straps was made. It's an odd one, but I like it, and the price was great.
