Single, (typical) early-period and neatly 'cyphered', so-called: 'Hitlerjugend' (HJ) 'Landjahr'-shoulderstrap as was intended for and used by a member with the rank of: 'Hitlerjunge'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single - (typical) early-period and neatly 'cyphered', so-called: 'Hitlerjugend' (HJ) 'Landjahr'-shoulderstrap as was specifically intended for - and clearly used by! - a member with the rank of: 'Hitlerjunge' and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit clearly used- ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic- ie. shirt- removed-) condition. The strap that was with certainy worn as such after which it was carefully shirt- ie. tunic-removed comes stored as such for decades. The neat (and truly early-type I deem to be dated around 1934!) shoulderstrap is of the 'sew-in'-type (without having tongues) and measures approximately 11,5 cms. in length. It is void of an 'RzM-etiket' (but does show the remains of having once having an etiket. The strap - which is constructed from the typical light-brown-coloured linnen as to be expected - shows the neat (larger-sized- and/or Gothic-styled) so-called: 'L'-character ie. cypher (or: 'Ziffer') which is beautifully chain-stitched (done in so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei') and is executed in the typical light-green- (ie. 'grüner'-) coloured branchcolour signifying 'Landjahr'-usage. The strap has the typical 'rayon-based'-type piping as to be expected. It never had a tongue attached and was once (I deem) 'directly sewn on ie. into the shirt or tunic'. The purpose of the 'HJ-Landjahr', which was introduced in 1934, was to 'deepen the ties connecting the young people of urban areas with the land and peasentry'. As stated above, was this specimen clearly used and shows regular wear and/or aging (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and fairly rarely encountered! - early-pattern, youth-related 'Landjahr'-shoulderstrap that comes not that often for sale. I deem that I have priced this neat example according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!
