Re: Deutsches Rote Kreuz Pin & Hitler Jugend Patch w/Rune: Authenticity & Identification Help

Hi Nick. It's my understanding that the blue tags with the "Halb" designation showing the "A4" and the HJ diamond were used from 1934 until March of 1938 for sleeve insignia and non embroidered shoulder straps. The blue "TA" was to be used for embroidered HJ shoulder straps and D.J. straps as well. The change to red was in March 1938 for the H.J. and the blue tags were then used for S.A. and political items. This is just from my reference materials, most of it comes from the Saris Handbook, so there may be additional information that someone else has from period sources.
Thanks for clarifying Darin. I had often wondered about the two different tags
