Attractive, multi-coloured- and nicely enamelled membership-lapel-pin (ie. 'Mitgliedsabzeichen' as was intended to signify membership within the: 'DJ' (or: 'Deutsches Jungvolk in der HJ') being a neat, non-maker-marked specimen of the 1st patte...

The attractive youth-related membership-lapel-pin (ie. 'Mitgliedsabzeichen') shows some regular wear, age and/or minimal staining but has a totally undamaged- and/or neatly enamelled (and undamaged) surface. It has never been cleaned and retains a really attractive- and only minimally tarnished age-patina. The neat pin - which comes mounted onto its functional and fully unaltered pin-/catch set-up - is also figured in the Heering-Hüsken 'Abzeichen'-catalogue wherein it is given a unique reference-number (9269A). The piece is a neat example of the 1st pattern: something that is easily recognisable due to the fact that it depicts the text: 'D.J.' (instead of: 'D.J.V.' as can be noticed on DJ-badges of the second pattern). The pin is not maker-marked on its back but shows a super-imposed patent-pending-designation that reads: 'Ges.Gesch.' (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is bit smaller-sized than normally encountered and has an approximate diameter of only 2,2 cms. (as can be noticed on the pictures). I deem that this attractive DJ-lapel-pin of the first-pattern is with certainty accordingly priced!
