    Help with unknown Pin/Badge

    Hi everyone,

    A friend of mine picked up this pin last week and is trying to find out what it is. I know it came out of a vet grouping at least 3 years ago. It appears to be a lapel or cap pin, but for what? The rune leads me to believe HJ or SS so I figured I'd start here.Thanks for any assistance in advance.WR Jim

    Very interesting Jim. With the single rune in the end I would go with Hitlerjugend (the organization and not the division). Not something you'd wear to church in Germany, eh?

        In heraldry there a technique called "canting" -- punning -- in which a certain design somehow identifies the owner of the shield. Such as a skeleton key being called "dietrich" in German (ergo, 1LSSAH used a skeleton key for its divisional marking).

        I'm wondering aloud if the pin could be a "canting" for the SS-Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" -- it uses both elements of the divisional symbol: a single sig-rune and a skeleton key.


        Thanks for letting me think out loud.
