WH/HJ/DJ lanyard with whistle pipe
We believe that this version is for HJ/DJ but we see online that it's also sold as a Wehrmacht whistle, but normally the cord is then a bit thicker.
The green color lanyard indicate the rank of HJ-Scharführer or DJ-Jungzugführer
Excellent condition. Nice green twisted cord and fully working whistle pipe(probably bakelite).
Last two pics are just for reference.
-------------------------------------------
History:BACKGROUND: Originally from 1933 to 1936 the HJ lanyard utilized different colors for the various German states. In 1936 this system was simplified so the same color combinations would represent the same ranks in all of the German states. The lanyards where worn on the wearers left, being buttoned to the top left pocket flap and extended to under the left shoulder strap. The same lanyard was also used in the DJ for the same rank positions.
