Early-pattern, 'HJ'- (ie. 'Hitlerjugend'-) shoulderstrap for usage by a: 'Hitlerjunge' who was attached to the: 'Oberbann 4 - Bann B11 I' (Bann 11 = 'Bann Breslau' situated in the 'Gebiet Ost-Schlesien')

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless not that easily ie. surely scarcely found! - typical early-pattern, so-called: 'HJ'- (ie. 'Hitlerjugend'-) shoulderstrap as was (I deem) intended for usage - and clearly worn! - by a: 'Hitlerjunge' who was attached to the: 'Oberbann 4 - Bann B11 I' (Bann 11 = 'Bann Breslau' situated in the 'Gebiet Ost-Schlesien') 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-blue-coloured- (and typical rayon-based) piping attached and shows the machine-embroidered - by means of 'Kurbelstickerei' (and/or equally coloured) so-called: 'B11 I'-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 12,5 cms. in length and does show some moderate age ie. staining simply caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage. 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 scarcely encountered! - so-called: early-pattern, 'Oberbann 4'-shoulderstrap that belonged to the 'HJ-Bann Breslau' as was based in the 'Gebiet Ost Schlesien'!
