single rune armband

**173herd** · 04-23-2018, 08:12 PM

I was given a couple of armbands from an estate of an old family friend. One is a typical RZM and the other is a single rune with a picture of
a young man and a swastika pin together in a case and described as a Hitler youth armband. I know absolutely nothing about these but am
sort of a history buff..I've seen belt buckles with the single rune but never an armband. Could someone tell me what I have here? I was also
given a K98 bayonet that I'll post in the appropriate forum. Thanking you in advance. Rich

Assuming of course that it's genuine, it would be a 'Deutsches Jungvolk' armband. A seperate section of the Hitler Youth for boys aged ten to fourteen. Nothing to do with the SS, as indicated by the label.

Thank you sir. The label was my doing as I assumed the rune had something to do with the SS.
It is genuine as is the other armband that came from the vet's estate. I added the labels. Again
thank you for the info. Rich
