Deutsches Jungvolk in der HJ Sports Badge – Silver Class
This is a genuine DJ-Leistungsrune (Deutsches Jungvolk sports badge) in silver grade, awarded to members of the Deutsches Jungvolk in der Hitlerjugend (DJ in der HJ) for meeting athletic and ideological requirements. The badge was officially instituted in 1937 and represents one of the few awards available to younger male youth between ages 10 and 14 prior to full Hitler Youth membership.
This particular example is a clearly RZM M1/120 marked specimen, confirming manufacture by Wilhelm Deumer, Lüdenscheid, a known and respected maker of Third Reich-era awards. Constructed from Cupal (a copper-aluminum layered material), the badge retains sharp detail in the distinctive Sigrune motif, surrounded by an oak leaf wreath.
What makes this example especially notable is the engraved recipient number "96931" to the reverse – a unique serial number that was issued to an individual bearer. This engraving not only authenticates the piece but also adds traceable provenance value for collectors and historians alike.
A well-preserved and authentic DJ sports badge in silver – ideal for any serious collector of Third Reich youth awards, pre-1945 German militaria, or RZM-marked insignia.
