HJ Siegernadel 1942

WWII German HJ Siegernadel 1942

An original WWII German Hitler Youth winners pin (Siegernadel or Reichssportwettkampf-Abzeichen) awarded during the national youth sports competitions in 1942. The front of the badge features the classic diamond-shaped Hitler Youth emblem with its central swastika, surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped oak leaf wreath. The base of the wreath prominently displays the embossed date 1942. This specimen is executed in a lightweight zinc alloy and retains its factory-attached, fully functional needle and catch system on the reverse side. The badge shows honest surface wear and a light, untouched grey patina from age but is free of cracks or repairs. A classic piece of youth propaganda and competition insignia in completely honest, field-found condition
