Which strap would be worn by this member? The 2/L or the B1/37?

This boy carried the pennant for his Jungenschaft but the information is conflicting as you point out. The card shows him as being a member of:

(Jungenschaft) 2/(Jungzug) 2/(Fähnlein) 44/(Stamm) IX/(Jungbann) 2L München-Nordwest

but the two stamps show him as a member of:

(Jungenschaft) ?/(Jungzug) ?/(Fähnlein) 1/(Stamm) V/(Jungbann) B1/37 München-Nord

I would imagine that the reason for this conflicting information is due to a reorganisation of units within Munich around 1935/6. Jungbann 2L was formed after Jungbann 1/37 so in theory at least the card should have been filled out to show that he was first with Jungbann 1/37 and that he then became a member of Jungbann 2L post the reorganisation. The card shows the opposite however.

Anyway, with this card in his pocket he would have been wearing 2L straps.
