i would like to share with you this pin from my collection. It is quite uncommon and scarce. This pin is for the 'V.F. Werk Österreichisches Jungvolk', a HJ type organisation, created in 1936 within the 'Vaterländische Front (VF)' of Dolfuss. In 1938, after the anschlüss, it was disbanded.
the pin has the letters O ,J and V of Österreichisches Jungvolk , the austrian Jungvolk. the organisation had only130.000 members,during its short life from 1936 to 1938.

For good measure, I add a period picture

Hope you liked it :001_smile:

Here are some more Matt and a periodical from 1938. These badges are indeed scarce and I still don't know what the large one I have was for. It looks sort of feminine though :)

I think we discussed about these badges some month ago on WAF. So it was you? I didn't realize that :)
Your badges are REALLY nice

Yep :D I couldn't find that thread on the old forum for some reason so I'm glad you started it here.
 
Two badges were sold on Ebay today.

Nice. I'd love to know the difference between the gold and silver versions of these. I have one of each but have never been able to find any further info on these badges.
 
Thanks Garry. I do not know either. I found some interesting documents about history of the ÖJV.
