trumpet

I was wondering why, of all instruments used by the HJ and DJ, that only a couple can be clearly identified as 'HJ' today. When we do see the odd bugle or fanfare turn up on forums and dealer sites they don't usually have any HJ-specific markings. Anyway, I had a flick through the...

I was inspired by RussellM :001_smile:

DJ Trumpet Banner that was up on WAF for a couple of hours at the price of 425 GBP. Less than 700 USD. Somebody got a great deal I think.

hi guys thought i would show this here i bought this DJ album it was dedicated to the boys time at KLV Lager Lettow Vorbeck it had over 140 photos and period postcards of the lager and surounding areas, was more scenery and buildings pics etc so i sold it on :frusty: another regret to add to the...

Here's a pic of my DJ trumpet banner, doubled sided, but both securing strings have been cut off. Rob

Tony would appear to have deserted us for some reason so rather than leaving this sub-forum as it is I thought it would be a good place to put translations from autobiographies/period books. Those of you who may not be able to read German might, I hope, find them useful. So, to start us off...

Here are my contributions to the thread! This is my first on the new site but were previously posted on the older one! Comments welcomed!

I got this postcard about 4 months ago. At first glance, looks like a pretty common Goverment Postal postcard with a DJ member on his trumpet. But what I think is pretty neat is the mailing address...Columbus, OH, USA. Actually happens to be where I live. (No, I didn't use my typewiter to fill...

It just went up on WAF and won't last. Admin edit: the original WAF thread has gone. See post #10 below for pics of the item

You've probably seen it before but here is one of my favourite items. The banner is single sided, unmarked, and the trumpet is brass with nickel fittings which have taken on the patina often seen on SA and SS daggers. Also attached is the red and white lanyard-type rope, probably for use as a...

A nice trumpet banner was sold on GDC did anybody here get it ? cheers steve

Some of you may remember a previous discussion about whether the manufacture of DJ fanfare banners was controlled by the RZM. None of us had any concrete evidence for or against at the time. I've since found information on this in a Reichsbefehl RJF: effective from the 30th of July 1937...
