I know that there are a few here who collect this kinda non-NS scouts stuff, pretty cool, and cheap-ish.. for those that are interested?

Paul, at €30.- it seems like a steal, IF you are into this pre-NS scouts area..... i bet its not a common item either.
 
don't always believe what dealers want you to believe

Sorry gents!

But this item isn not pre 1933, but made after 1945.
But thank you for the link, because if it had been
a pre 1933 Halstuchring I would have gone for it right away.

Same as these items at WAF, which were all made after 1945.:nono:

The words around the ring could indeed mean it is not from before 1945.

Rings like this were sold in the early thirties in many variations. Some are shown
in "Ratgeber für Fahrt und Lager" from April 1933, a booklet with scouts stuff and
for early youth organizations. The rings shown were for example (see image):
the Lilly from brass in old-gold color and old-silver color; the top of a speer for
"Deutsche Pfadfinder", handmade; the sigrune, also handmade; with the colored
DPB insignia in its middle (see avatar from christianlohmann), but also with other
devices. Any type you wanted, could be asked for.

The text gives some explanation and a number of possibilities.

Right Wilhelm, the names of the continents are in German and German scouts were not realy internationally interested before 1933.
The Versailles Treaty averted that. Too many young people in the 20's and 30's felt that Germany was not treated right.
So almost no German Scout organisation in those times was interested in scouting around the world as we have it today.

This Halstuchring was still sold in the 1970's in our Scoutshop. (Reminds me to look for that catalog.)
I recently saw the embossing tool (Prägestempel) of this ring offered on an internet auction house.

Nice scan by the way, new for me. There is somthing to be learned every day.
