Original Item: Only One Available. This HJ Armband is in very good used condition. It does not have any pin holes from attachment, but it is somewhat wrinkled, and laso has age toning and two large stains, so we believe it may have been worn. It measures approximately 15" x 4 1/8", and is sewn together at the ends.

The band is red with a white center stripe that is machine stitched seamlessly onto it. There is also a stitched on HJ diamond with a machine embroidered swas (Hook Cross). The stitching and fabric are all sound, with the staining being the only issues.

The inner side still features the original RZM tag which does show light fading, but no creasing or tears. The tag has a correct B tax code and features the RZM logo as well as the ink stamped numerical designation of the hersteller (manufacturer) A4, though there is no supplier number listed. It may have been removed It also has the HJ logo on the tag.

A very nice HJ Armband with an original RZM tag, with just a bit of period wear and staining. Ready to display!

Its origins dated back to 1922 and it received the name HJ, Bund deutscher Arbeiterjugend ("HJ, League of German Worker Youth") in July 1926. From 1933 until 1945, it was the sole official youth organization in Germany and was partially a paramilitary organization; it was composed of the HJ proper for male youths aged 14 to 18, the German Youngsters in the HJ (Deutsches Jungvolk in der HJ or "DJ", also "DJV") for younger boys aged 10 to 14, and the League of German Girls (Bund Deutsche Mädel or "BDM").
