Description
Product Description: This DJ Trumpet Banner is an absolutely beautiful object with outstanding visual appeal. This high-quality trumpet banner was intended for use by the DJ- the Deutsches Jungvolk, the Hitler Youth section for boys aged 10 to 14. This banner measures a nice and displayable 18″ x 18.” The body of the banner is made of a typical black fabric. Each side is adorned with the Sig rune emblem used by the DJ. The runic emblems are white fabric and are neatly machine applied to the banner body with tight zig-zag stitching. The sides and bottom are decorated with nice aluminum bullion fringe. The top edge has four tie points, each with two narrow black ties, all of which are intact. This flag is complete and sound with no holes or damage. It does show some wear and age, with expected light toning and patina to the white Sig rune, and some scattered marks. The bullion fringe is free of oxidation, with some very light wear at the upper corner areas. This DJ Trumpet Banner is an impressive object that displays very well. The condition rates as excellent plus.
Historical Description: During the Third Reich and WWII, a wide variety of flags and pennants were used on German cars and vehicles. In the military, vehicle flags and pennants were used to indicate branch or rank, or specific command roles. The various civilian organizations also had vehicle flags and pennants for members of their organization or to denote the vehicles of officers, leaders, or people in specific roles. Even political leaders had their own flags, which were often rank specific. Some of the flags, especially military ones, were simply printed, and some were machine woven or stitched, while the flags for political leaders and the highest-ranking military personnel were more decorative and often elaborately hand embroidered in bullion wire. Some vehicle flags were mass produced, including simple national flag type swastika emblem pennants that could have been bought by any patriotic supporter. Others were unique. These flags were attractive souvenirs for GI troops at the end of the war and are eagerly collected today.
