HJ Scharführer Summer Sleeve Rank Patch (Uniform Removed)

An original World War II Hitler Youth (HJ) sleeve rank patch for a Scharführer, intended for wear on the upper left arm. The circular insignia features two machine-embroidered silver-grey rank pips (Rangsterne) arranged side-by-side. This specific piece is executed on a smooth, black lightweight cotton/rayon summer or drill fabric base, matching the tan summer shirts or fatigue blouses. The patch is in honest, uniform-removed condition, showing light wear with its factory edges neatly folded back. Remarkably, the original blue-and-white paper RZM manufacturer's label remains fully intact and firmly attached to the reverse side, displaying a crisp "A4" code and unique serial number. This insignia originates directly from a recently discovered German tailor's archive (Schneider-Archief). A very attractive and scarce summer variant rank badge with great character.
