Hiya!!...hope your all well and enjoying the New Year. I have recently acquired a HJ specific triangle and am hoping for some verification or assistance if I have got it all wrong!
I am thinking its for a staff member at a Reichsfuhrerschule but research and comparasion examples are non existent so thinking the experts here will be able to help me identify.
Many thanks for any assistance given and happy collecting.

Hi, I'd like to share my opinion on this triangle.

First of all, I don't want to claim that such triangles (handmade) don't exist, but I'm always a bit skeptical of them. There are known photos of people wearing handmade triangles, but it's always difficult to say whether triangles shown today are genuine.

Personally, I wouldn't want the one you've shown and would even call it a fake. Theoretically, anyone could recreate this triangle at home if they had the right thread.
Of course, there are other opinions on that. I hope they didn't pay too much for the triangle.

Interesting...thanks for your input! I dont think I would have the skill set to produce such an item and it came with a few other items that have all proven to be authentic but you always have to be wary of fakes when collecting TR.
 
Further information about the triangles and carrier photos can be found in Wim's book ( Handbook of the Hitler-Jugend ) and our book ( Die Gebietsdreiecke der Jugend-Organisation 1933 - 1945 ) about the triangles.
