Original Very Rare Third Reich German Hitler Youth DJ Unit Marked SIGRUNE Dragons Tongue PENNANT. (Wimpel)

Original Very Rare Third Reich German Hitler Youth DJ Unit Marked SIGRUNE Dragons Tongue PENNANT. (Wimpel).

The DJ, “Deutsche Jungvolk” (German Youth), originated in Vienna, Austria in 1929, and was eventually to become the young branch of the HJ; for boys from 10 to 14 years old. The Sig-rune first became associated with the DJ on November 9th 1929, the sixth anniversary of the failed Beer Hall Putsch, when the Gauleiter of Vienna presented them with their first official flag, consisting of a black field with a central, silver Sig-rune. The Sig-rune was afterward adopted as the official emblem of the DJ. A multi-piece cotton construction pennant, whose hoist edge is 14″tall, ands its length is approximately 76″. To each face is sewn a 21cm tall “Sig” rune in white. The back has a red background with a unit symbol. Shows the expected age and use. Scarce to see in the swallowtail configuration. Nice! Brought home by a U.S. Veteran. One of the classic flags from the third Reich in used condition. Typical light age toning. Nice example issued with expected storage wear.  Gettysburg Museum Certified (COA) provided. Rare 100% Guaranteed to be authentic. Sold for historic purposes only.
