The shoulder strap RFS is for Reichsfinanzschulen, Reich Finance Schools,
an institution for training pupils on customs and taxes.
See my handbook, the pages 525 through 532 with all names for the various schools.

Hi Wilhelm,
Thanks for the info...and for pointing out I should have looked at my reference books. I have your book and never even thought to take a look. Still quite pleased with my aquisitions but annoyed that I was too lazy to look on the book shelf right next to me.

A lucky find. The RFS strap is a desirable item and somewhat difficult to find, and never cheap. Congratulations.

Hi FrankBooth,
Thanks for your reply. I am totally out of my depth with HJ items. I have a few bits and pieces but have never set out to collect them. Out of pure interest and with no intention of selling either piece would it be possible to let me know an approximate value of the strap. Not as much as if it a perfect pair I know, but it will have to be entered on the museum inventory and it needs a value for insurance purposes. I would not have expected it to be more than £40 or so.... but then I might just be surprised.
All the best,
D.

Retail of that strap is much much more than 40 GBP. IMO a fair price is more along 200 to 250 USD easily for the strap, perhaps more to the right buyer. A matching pair is even more valuable should your contact find the other. A pair would top the 500 to 600 USD range, perhaps more for the right buyer. More scarce H.J. insignia is currently rivaling SS in prices on dealer sites and forums. Sometimes selling for these values and sometimes not.
