Hitler Youth/ High Command Badge for Distinguished Foreigners. Very hard to find!!, Very rare!!. Mint

Description

One of the rarest, scarcest and most difficult to find badges of the Hitlerjugend at an excellent price. Instituted in 1941 by the High Command of the Hitler Jugend, to reward service by foreign citizens. It could only be conferred on non-Germans. This award was probably not awarded more than 350 times, making it a very rare award. Among others, this prize in Spain was given to D. José Antonio Elola-Olaso and Dñ. Pilar Primo de Rivera.

We have been lucky enough to personally contact the son of the last Head of the Hitler Youth in Spain from 1944 to 1945, the Landesjugendfürer Bernhad Feuerriegel, who after the end of WW2 settled in the north of Spain.

I have been able to acquire several brand new units of this magnificent, rare and scarce “HJ” Badge of Honor awarded only to Distinguished Foreigners (Ehrenzeichen der HJ-Reichsjugendführung für verdiente Ausländer).

Now they have one last chance to acquire this very rare badge for their collection, coming directly from the family without paper or envelope, but cheaper.

This is a non-ferrous oval plate measuring 34mm by 28mm and slightly convex. It has a fine raised edge line and a similar line with a 2mm indent. On the line of chocolate-colored opaque enamel is the inscription ‘HITLER JUGEND’. The central field is filled with opaque whitish enamel. The raised metal parts of the badge are gilded and a broad-winged political eagle is placed over the body of the badge, the wings overlapping the edge of the badge. The HJ diamond is overlaid on a pair of oak leaves that protrude vertically through the plate. The eagle measures 28mm from the tip of the HJ diamond to the top of the head and the wingspan is 32mm. The HJ diamond measures 18mm by 12mm. All metal parts of the eagle and HJ insignia are finished in matte silver. The reverse is smooth with three holes with rivets. On the reverse of the oblong plate, it has a crimp in the middle through which the safety pin clip passes. The oblong plate measures 14mm by 5.5mm. The entire reverse is gilded with the part of the rivets that protrudes in silver.
