Attractive, early- (ie. pre-war-) period HJ ('Hitlerjugend') so-called: 'HJ-Schiessauszeichnung für Scharfschützen' (or: HJ shooting- ie. marksmans'-badge) being a nicely maker- (ie. 'RzM - M1/63'-) marked example
This is a very attractive and fully undamaged(!) - I deem early- (ie. even pre-war-) period example of a HJ ('Hitlerjugend') so-called: 'HJ-Schiessauszeichnung für Scharfschützen' (or: HJ shooting- ie. marksmans'-badge with oakleaf-wreath) being a nicely maker- (ie. 'RzM - M1/63'-) marked example that comes in an overall nice- (I deem surely issued- and/or just moderately worn-), condition. The smaller-sized badge (which is equally sized as an N.S.D.A.P.-membership lapel-pin) is as stated above, neatly marked on the back with the makers'-designation 'RzM - M1/63' as mentioned above. The lapel-pin was never cleaned (some age ie. staining is present) but the piece truly shows no enamel-damage whatsoever (it was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and shows a somewhat tarnished, typical silver-coloured finish). The badge comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional (and unaltered) pin- ie. pin-catch set-up. The piece originates from a German private-household where it was recently found and was never before part of any collection. Simply a neat - and actually not that often seen! - youth-related marksmans'-badge: hard to find a better and more nicely preserved example for a more interesting price!
