Sorry about the really bad photos but this is my rather small 3rd Reich collection. I started collecting in December. I'm 13 years old, and I mainly collect HJ items. All I have right now are these. The first picture has an HJ cloth armband, no RZM, on the left. On the right is a HJ songbook. The writing on the cover translates, or at least I think so-my German is poor- to "People of the Saar Sing". On the inside of the cover, its owner wrote something in German that I can't understand. I bought these two items from Jody.

Again sorry about the bad photo. On the far left is an HJ steel buckle, RZM stamped, nice finish with nearly all of the paint still on. Next I have a 1935 Deutsches Jugendfest tinnie, then a BWB unmarked. Lastly I have a '43 HJ Sports Day tinnie. I got these items from Jody as well. -
Looks good so far.
everyone has to start somewhere. HJ items are relatively inexpensive, but by no means less desirable IMO. Stay dedicated and happy collecting.
By the way love the avatarComment

More than I had when I was 13, I only had two photos that were real, the rest of my badges, etc turned out to be repros.
Keep going!

Welcome to the Hobby! You are doing very well and have some very nice items My Man!
Seems Jody has steered You in the right direction! and as time goes on I am sure You will build a good quality collection!
Is Your Father or perhaps Mother fostering an interest in Third Reich militaria and helping you to collect? Or is this somthing You took an interest in Yourself?
Best Regards to You Jordan! and I hope You continue Your interest in this Hobby, and learn from the members here.... and from our mistakes also!

Jordan, HJ collecting is a lot of fun with a great variety of items that are priced lower than many other areas of T.R. collecting. Good hunting.
