hey jørn

Nice and original Hj badge in the whw katagory and yes they come in diff collors too, this badge was ment for the young ones in the hitlerjugend and symbolice the Wolfsangelrune wich is one of meny runes from the nordic viking alfabeth used in the hj. the pic below is of a famaly whit 12 kids where the 2 little girls got the rune visual on the clotes.

The rune was also used by the 2 SS Panzerdivision Das Reich but ur badge belongs to the hj and imo one of the meny " arian race " badge used by these organisations.

cheers mate

Hello,

I just want to clarify on this particular badge...it has nothing to do with the HJ or any other organization other than the Winterhilfswerk. There was a set of 5 sold on the 1st & 2nd of February 1936 during the Reichsstrassensammlung of the WHW.

The badge design was widely used as is evidence in the great photo that Carsten posted. But this badge has nothing to do with anything other than the WHW.

We sell these for $5.00-$6.00 a piece on our site when we have them. They can be found in the following colors:

Dark Brown
Light Brown
Dark Green
Light Green
Red

All the best,
Chrys
