My small Hitler Jugend collection

[Jim P]

Here is my small Hitler Youth collection. I collect all areas of militaria, focusing on bayonets and edged weapons, but have always had some fascination with the HJ. I don't actively pursue HJ items, but always have my eyes open looking for a good deal and when I find it another item goes in the display.

I have the makers names written down somewhere, but can't remember them off the top of my head. Here are the makers marks:

I really like the way you have these displayed. The badge is Rudolf Reiling in Pforzheim and the buckle is Friedrich Linden in Lüdenscheid. I don't know how to tell the knife manufacturer!

The HJ knife is a Karl Boker 1940 and it is what got me started on the rest. I had one when I was a boy and had to have another when I started collecting again. The Hitler Youth was quite an interesting organization and I think one could spend all their efforts collecting just HJ and be quite happy with the results. Not me though, I don"t have that kind of focus, I don't realize how bad I wanted something until I see it for the 1st time, then I'm off in a whole new direction. Problem is,I find it really hard to get rid of something once I have it

Thanks for the comments,
Jim
