I sent a message to the seller Torsten and offered him 200 euro for the MHJ straps .. this is what he said :
No Sorry...I have an offer from an big Dealer from Hamburg for 350,00 EUR but I don´t want to sell there unter 400,00 EUR that is my Limit.
There are very rarer then an Mützenband for Marine HJ.
I can make 400,00 EUR + shipping.....my direct mail you find in all my auktions.
Thanks Torsten Schüler
This is what I replied to Torsten Sorry about the black words, I copied and pasted from ebay )
( Hi Torsten
If you can sell these for 350 euro , please sell them , at that price you are getting top value and more .
I am a moderater on the HJ Research forum and have over 250 HJ shoulderstraps in my collection including 6 pair of Marine HJ straps . If someone has offered you 350 euro and you wont sell them , I would like to have there contact address as I will sell them a few Pairs for less .)
Thanks , Some Dealers think that if they find Hitlerjugend items at the fleamarket for cheap that they have found GOLD. I paid less for my pair of HJ Doctors shoulderboards a few years back than Torsten wants for his MHJ straps .
By the way, these MHJ straps have problibly been embelished with the added anchors . If you look at the thread that have been used to sew on the anchors , the thread does not show age . as does the anchors themselves and the war volunteer stripes
The only "big" dealer is Hamburg is Weitze and I don't see any way that he would pay anything near that price for a set of MHJ straps. Sometimes sellers do manage to get crazy prices for items on Ebay, I've seen it many times.

well i would agree with you here on both accounts hes the biggest in Hamburg+, he also offers low on nice and hard to find items, trust me i know! so i really doubt HW offered that, for those, hes just fishing...
