A truly beautiful and complete Hitlerjugend brown shirt uniform set, steeped in authenticity and character. This ensemble includes all key elements: the HJ triangle for Nord Hamburg, shoulderboards, HJ armband, scarf, and original knot—everything you’d hope for in a fully presented HJ uniform.
The shoulderboards display the rank of Oberkameradschaftsführer and are fitted with pressed metal “6” numerals, marking this as belonging to Gefolgschaft 6 of Bann 188—a unit from the Nord Hamburg region, perfectly matching the Gebietsdreieck (regional triangle). Bann 188 was part of the Hamburg structure of the Hitlerjugend, falling under Gebiet 10, a known and highly collected region due to its size and significance within the organization.
This shirt tells a story: it shows honest wear and tear, which many collectors (myself included) value for its character and originality. There are field repairs present—testament to real use rather than museum staging. The HJ armband is machine-sewn but with some loose stitching visible on the edges. The shirt is RZM-unmarked, which is not uncommon for field-worn or early transitional uniforms.
Whether you’re a serious collector or curating a display focused on youth organizations in the Third Reich, this is a rare and complete set—hard to find with such cohesion between insignia, rank, and regional assignment.
A truly desirable and visually impressive piece that would stand out in any collection. Condition as seen!
