    HJ cufflinks?

    Not my collecting field, anyone seen any cufflinks like these?
    According to the family that have them, they came from a family member that was a member in HJ.
    Value?

    They are not any official H.J. item.

      These are an example of NS "Kitsch". In the 20s and early 30s there was no restriction on using the swastika so any manufacturer could produce items utilizing the symbol. These items were popular with early supporters so manufacturers made all sorts of swastika bedecked products. After the NSDAP came into power, a law protecting the 'National Symbol', among other icons, was passed and put an end to the unrestricted use of the swastika.
      So, anyone who wanted to advertise his support of the NSDAP could buy cufflinks like these during the early days.

        Thank you Erich!!
        Did get them in hands yesterday, without doubt original and in very nice condition
        Have you seen any adds about selling these or photos with supporters wearing them?

          Yes to both questions--I know somewhere I have a photo that is sharp enough to see the cufflinks (as I remember, they were more like the party badge design with an assumably red enameled border, white field and black swastika), and I've seen ads for such items as well. It's been years since I saw them, though, so hopefully someone with better organizational skills will post photos as it will take me some time to find them.

            never seen a photo where the cufflinks were identifiable! [hoping to get someone to post!]

            Nothing to do with the HJ,,they are real early pro Nazi cufflinks...
