German Hitler Youth Leader Lanyard

In a very good near mint condition a German Hitler Youth Leader Lanyard. The lanyard comes in the green colour of the rank HJ Gebietsführer or DJ Gebietsjungvolkführer In early 1933 HJ/DJ Leaders were issued a lanyard to be worn from the left shoulder strap to the left breast pocket button to indicate their rank and position. Originally the HJ/DJ Leader's lanyards were in the color of the wearers district and were termed Landesfarben (District Colors). These two color lanyards were worn until the introduction of the Oberbann color system in September 1933. Each Oberbann was allotted a specific color to distinguish them from each other. In 1936 the Oberbann system was discontinued and the leaders lanyards underwent another change with specific colored lanyards denoting a specific ranks. A very nice and hard to find lanyard!
