Early-pattern, 'HJ'- (ie. 'Hitlerjugend'-) shoulderstrap for usage by a: 'Hitlerjunge' who was attached to the: 'Oberbann I - Bann 319' (Bann 319 = 'Bann Ansbach' situated in the 'Gebiet Süd Franken')

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless not that easily found! - typical early-pattern, so-called: 'HJ'- (ie. 'Hitlerjugend'-) shoulderstrap as was intended for usage - and clearly worn! - by a: 'Hitlerjunge' who was attached to the: 'Oberbann I - Bann 319' (Bann 319 = 'Bann Ansbach' situated in the 'Gebiet Süd Franken') and that comes in an overall nice- (I deem just moderately used- ie. carefully tunic- or shirt-removed-), condition. The strap - which is executed in typical, beige-tan-coloured linnen as to be expected - has the bright-red-coloured- (and rayon-based) piping attached and shows the machine-embroidered - by means of 'Kurbelstickerei' (and/or equally coloured) so-called: '319'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern'). The strap never had a tongue attached and comes as found and/or issued: it is of 'sewn-in'-pattern (and was also used as such). The strap - that is void of an 'RzM'-etiket - measures 11,2 cms. in length and does show some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage only. It should be noted that all 'cyphered' (ie. 'Hitlerjugend') shoulderstraps can easily be graded 'scarce' even more so when they are of the desirable early-pattern. Simply an attractive - and actually not that commonly encountered! - so-called: early-pattern, 'Oberbann I'-shoulderstrap that belonged to the 'HJ-Bann Ansbach' as was based in the 'Gebiet Süd Franken'!
