Hi everyone,

again, posting a sidecap with a question.

What is that ? There seems to be a black version and one in a lighter color.

Thanks,
Chris

It is a pre 1933 sidecap worn by German youth organizations .
 
Agree with Joe. Not a DJ or HJ cap. Used in the time when the other youth organizations were being absorbed into the HJ and regulations were not always understood or heavily enforced.
 
A rare item. I specialize in pre HJ Youth organisations, so I might be the only one who owns any of these.
I have only seen two of them ever (in different colours), although I have been collecting for 35 years now.
But it is not a regulation HJ item. So probably hard to sell, if you ever want to get rid of them.
The brown Tadep one (Berlin, pre 1933 youth organisations) is the one in your pictures.
The green one is from Willi Nufer (Offenbach, also pre 1933 youth organisations).

Nice to see these early caps. You hardly ever see them.
If I ever can continue with the HJ chapter/book for the
headgear-series, I hope you are willing to hand over good
resolution photographs. Of course they will be credited.......

Willy Nufer was a concern that sold lots of stuff for German
youth organizations. There exists a sort of price-list from
April 10, 1933. Have no idea if there do exist other lists?
 
I was hoping Christian would see this thread and share his knowledge in this area. Great rare caps he has shown. While not H.J. specific they are in a way related in the earliest days of the H.J..
 
Willi Nufer was in bussines since the mid 20s till about 1935.
There are some Lists after 1933, but I do not own any, yet.
No problem with better photos when needed.

Hello Christian,

I checked the Nufer-list from April 1933, but now I see I am missing pages
(8 through 11). Do you have them and can make a scan or copy, please?
Maybe there headgear is mentioned, but as I do not have them, I cannot check!

I am also missing apparently the pages 20 through 23. It would be great I
could complete this April list.
 
hello Christian
nice caps.
i have a brown one but can find it anymore !If i remember good the strips (litzen) are white and black.
 
You may have this one. This one is from the maker Tadep (Berlin). 1930-1933. Used with several youth-organisations.
