Nice looking shoulder board. Just out of curiosity what is the book it is sitting on?

It's a shoulder board for the Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ), i.e. the HJ's "junior section" for 10- to 14-year old boys. The number is the Jungbann number.

Thanks Andreas, and the book it's sitting on is "Nazi Plunder". I pickit up the other day and it is very fascinating. Thanks again guys!

This Jungbann number was used by Jungbann Dillingen of the Süd/Schwaben Gebiet. It is one of the HJ Banns that was formed after a reorganization that occured in 1942. These were worn as single shoulder strap on the right shoulder of the DJ uniform.

Thanks Frank Booth! So it was only numbered on the right shoulder?

The shoulder board was only worn on the right shoulder. A common practice with uniforms of the various political organizations such as SA, NSKK, Allgemeine SS and NSFK.
