ITEM #13354 

#13354-H.J./ D.J UNIT PENNANT: Outstanding example of a post 1934 Jungenschaftswimpel as carried by individual D.J. groups. Measuring about 32 inches long, the two sided pennant is in black cotton construction featuring a machine applied single rune on the front and a very elaborate  reverse design. Depicted here are the coat of arms and location name of Siebenburgen. Interestingly, Siebenburgen was an area in Transylvania (Romania) that was inhabited by ethnic Germans of Saxon origin since the middle ages. Often these pennants were produced by the DJ or associated BDM group and often of crude workmanship, but not the case with this example. The 8 by 6-1/2 inch coat of arms exhibits superior workmanship being of seamed multi-panel construction with finely chain stitched details. The name is executed in hand knotted, chain stitch outline style. The pennant is complete with two end ties of woven rayon tape. The unique pennant shows some surface age and a couple of old, hard to notice small repairs. The ethnic German population of Siebenburgen is almost nonexistent  today due to post war deportations to Russian labor camps and Communist resettlement of its people to Germany. A rare and historical example in Condition II+ $1150.00
