This is a cuff title worn by members of the Stahlhelmbund from the Gau Westerwald.

[A Gau was one of the organisational levels of the Stahlhelmbund, the next higher one being Landesverband, the next lower one Kreis. As for the Westerwald area itself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westerwald]

This is not an HJ related title even though that's how the seller has it listed.
