I am learning a lot on this forum.
I would like to contribute something little by little.
I have the 1940 Siegernadel Badge in plastic (Kunststoff) , no maker's mark, with a pin rivet.
There are two types of rivets in the 1940 version:
- Rivet with 2 round holes.
- Rivet with 4 square holes.
I always wondered what these were actually for but it says in a May 1938 newspaper article that it was the day badge for the competition and that it granted the wearer access to the various event locations. I assume that the 1939 badge that we see around had the same purpose.
The 1944 Hitler Jugend sport festival did not have a pin or badge, unlike the years 1934-1943. Only a winner's certificate was issued.
The document is smaller than a postcard, measuring 7 cm by 10.5 cm. It reads,
"Sports Competition, 1944

I am trying to put together my own set. I have all the years, but not all the variations.
Does anyone know how many variations there were?
For example, there was a half wreath and a full wreath in the 1943. There is also at least two in 1938: one with stipling on the eagle breast and one...
Hello All,
I don't know if the badge is considered to be unusual?
Most of the other examples I have are made from a silver kunstoff (plastic) material. This one is pressed zinc.
The badge has two raised slots at the back for either sewing or pin mounting.
What do you think?
Cheers

Hello All,
going through an old box of badges I came across this small pile of HJ badges.
The later plastic one looks to have had his needle replaced upside down!
I am guessing because of the low value of these items they are not reproduced at the moment?
All the best
Doug
Hi folks,

Hi,
I'm new here and among others WWII stuff I collect HJ Reichssportwettkampf Siegernadel tinnies. I think I have a near complete sequence, only missing the 1941 and a 1943 with half oak leaves crown in better conditions (at mine the rear pin is missing).
Among them I have two 1938 and two...
Acquired these badges from my grandfather, and am having a hard time identifying these, since they are semi-civilian. Any help would be so appreciated. The double pronged is dated 1943 and is mettallic, the triangle has a small RZ encapsulated in an M logo with a M1/15 across the top.
Hi - I wanted to get some opinions on these 2 Sport Festival badges. I am especially wondering about the 1939. It looks good from front, but look at the name on the back: "E. SCH L". Is that a maker? The 1937 is made by Hillenbrand & Bröer. So are they both ok?
:canada1hello new to the site and had a question regarding the HJ Reichssportwettkampf 1939 tinnies. I've noticed there is 2 versions a brownish one and then a grey one. I currently own the grey one and was wondering which one is the more rare of the 2. thanks in advance to any replies.

Hi mates,
today I've received a very rare paper group of a Deutsche Jugend girl from German minority in Rumania. The girl was member of the Deutsche Volksgruppe and immigrated later in 1944 to the Reich! I also have the immigrant pass of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle.
Very interesting, the...
