BDM-Hitlerjugend pennant

[Gregorio Torres]

I have got a nice BDM pennat. Its measure is 75x50cm and its black. In the anverse is the text JBDM Bad Wildungen Schar 1, all enbroided in white, and in the reverse is a sieg rune. The pennant have two black ribbons to be tied to the pole.
Obviously it is not the more commun type. Could I have your oppinions and could you tell me the location of this unit?
Thank you in advance
Gregorio

Hi,

Bad Wildungen came under Untergau 226 Waldeck (Gebiet 14 Kurhessen). Untergau 226 retained its name throughout the TR period so regardless of when this Wimpel was made the Untergau is the same.


Edited to add a bit.

Thank you very much Schmusi.
Could anybody tell me if the early HJ pennats are now more or less expensive than the regular post 1934 model?

Gregorio-
I Remember This Flag Well As I Bought It Off Ebay Many Years Ago. I Sold It At The Sos In 2005. It Is A Very Interesting, Odd Flag. I Cannot Speak To Value But Believe It To Be Far Rarer Than The Normal B D M Flag. It Is Amazing What A Small World This Is!

Uauu, Bob. It´s nice to Know that this pennant was yours. Yes, what´s a small world.
I´m very happy with this item. I bought it in Madrid in a militaria shop two weeks ago.
I know you bought it in ebay, but did the buyer say anything about the provenance?
