HJ Rottenführer Sleeve Rank Patch (Unissued)

An original, unissued World War II Hitler Youth (HJ) sleeve rank patch for a Rottenführer, intended for wear on the upper left uniform arm. The circular insignia features a single machine-embroidered silver-grey rank pip (Rangstern) centered on a heavy black wool cloth base. This item is in crisp, mint condition, showing zero signs of uniform mounting or field wear. The reverse side retains clear paper and glue remnants from where the factory-applied paper RZM control label was originally attached. This piece comes directly from a recently discovered German tailor's stockpile (Schneider-Archief), providing fantastic historical provenance. A very clean, textbook example of a foundational HJ sleeve rank.
