M-030 Extremely Rare Hitler Youth Industrial Award
“Reichssieger” (‘National’ Level Winner) for 1939
This example of the prestigious “Reichssieger” (“National”
[Championships] Winner) award is only the second I have had – they are that
scarce. “Reichs-” was the designation for the Political /Administrative
organization at “National” Level – the highest in the land. The winner of
this award had already won the Industrial / Science championship at both
province (Gau) and County District (Kreis) Levels, and had moved up to
compete and win at the highest, National Level. Both males and females were
eligible. It’s a handsome piece, and nicely crafted. The gilt finish on the
laurel leaf wreath, eagle and cogwheel is about 98%, with a nice gleam. The
white enamel on the flat background disk has no real yellowing. There is some
tiny pitting visible – but only under a loop. The Hitler Youth diamond
emblem’s enamel has some tiny chips along the left side (as viewed) edge, but
these are not readily discernable. The award title and date “REICHSSIEGER
1939” in gold leaf inset into the white enamel are perfectly clear. The
smooth, slightly concave reverse side of the award has a nicely tapered,
straight-edged pin. The pin has slightly upward curve. The manufacturer’s name
and city: “G. BREHMER MARKNEUKIRCHEN” run horizontally across the center of
the reverse. A spectacular piece!
