NSB 'NJS Eredraagteken'
This is a nice example of the truly extremely rare Dutch WWII period youth organisation (\'NJS\' - Nationale Jeugdstorm\') so-called: \'Eredraagteken\' (honorary badge). These were individually bestowed (mainly by the NJS \'Leider\' and \'Hoofdstormer\' C. van Geelkerken) and only the first 1200 pieces were numbered: this badge is number: \'559\'. The badge comes is a (green-coloured) simulated leather etui by a German maker in Hannover (which is period but not original to the badge). These badges are truly rare and only a handfull are known to be in private collections (some reference books do not even show a real example: just a drawing. These were also known to have been worn by the Dutch Waffen-SS volunteers on there military uniforms. The badge is in nice condition but shows a (non-discturbing) \'hair-crack\' in the blue-enamelled field. A true opportunity to obtain one of the rarest NJS (and NSB!) related lapel-pins! I know I have priced this one high but I deem it absolutely worth its money!
