DJH 1937 TINNIE FOR GERMAN YOUTH
This tinnie is very lightweight. The silver finish is in very good condition with no toning or soiling - a very nice piece overall with the eagle as the backdrop, a centered triangle with the letters DJH over the date 1937 and a Hitler Youth diamond beneath. The pin is excellent. Super example in choice condition.
LUFTWAFFE GRADE ONE MARKSMANSHIP LANYARD
The fliegerblau (grey/blue fliers blue) braid of this lanyard alternates with very thin saw-tooth lines of aluminum thread. It ihas lost its colors (the Luftwaffe lanyard braid did not have a rayon backing like the Army model), with the flat, stamped metal oval oak leaf wreath at the top in matte aluminum, with a Luftwaffe eagle in the center. The small knots above and below the wreath are wound from aluminum wrapped thread.Old and shows its age.
WWII GERMAN GRADE ONE MARKSMEN'S LANYARD
Grade one marksmens lanyard consists of a heavy, twisted, interwoven silver/aluminum braid with buttoning loops to both the top and bottom ends. The reverse of the braiding has a protective, pale grey, rayon strip of fabric neatly handstitched in place to prevent chafe wear on the uniform. The top of the lanyard has a stamped, aluminum, construction, vertically oval, embossed, oak-leaf wreath with a Wehrmacht style eagle with down swept wings, clutching a canted swastika in its talons, positioned to the top center encompassing crossed swords which are superimposed on a shield shaped base with a subtly pebbled background field. The shield device is attached to an interwoven silver/aluminum braid rosette with a protective dark green wool backing handstitched to the reverse to prevent chafe wear to the uniform. The lanyard is in overall very good condition with light age and usage toning. Nice early example.
