Early Pre-1933 Hitler Youth (HJ) "Deutsche Arbeiter-Jugend" First Pattern Membership Badge

An authentic, early first-pattern Hitlerjugend membership badge from the pre-1933 formative era when the organization was designated as the "Deutsche Arbeiter-Jugend" (German Workers' Youth). This is a First Pattern Early Unmarked variant typical of initial production  (Pre-RZM era).

The silvered finish on the base metal shows an attractive, authentic period patina and dark toning on the reverse. The correct pin mechanism on the back is intact and fully functional. $245
