No wives or girlfriends, you can e-mail those to me! JUST KIDDING! ] Please! One entry, per person, in ONE category ONLY! Multiple entries will be disqualified. Admin.and Mods.are welcome.

Fantastic Roger . . . I'm game! I assume that we post it here, so this is mine . . . an NPEA dagger that I purchased here from an excellent member for an incredible price and I am still really enjoying it! ~ Ian

Hello Ian, yes indeed, post 'em right here! A great start with a dagger that's near and dear to my heart! Under-rated IMO, but fascinating! My graduation-marked example appears in Ron W. new book on page 59. Keep 'em coming, guys! Regards, Leipzig

My favorite is this Sigrune from Jungbann 201 Herbert Norkus, Berlin Moabit. It was worn in lieu of the standard Oberbann Sigrune patch. This is the only honor titled D.J. Sigrune that I am aware of. The Bann was named after Herbert Norkus became an H.J. blood martyr.
Bann 201 was raised officially August 1, 1933 at Ost Berlin with the name Schoeneberg-Moabit. The Oberbann-color for the HY shoulder-strap piping and the piping for the visored cap was first yellow. This was changed into black on January 1, 1934. The name for the Bann was changed simultaneously into Moabit. The name Herbert Norkus was granted first to Schar 2 from Gau Berlin on August 8, 1932.
On April 7, 1934 the name Herbert Norkus was granted to Bann 201 and so this name was in use instead of Moabit. For unknown reason the name for the Bann was changed again in Moabit-Schoeneberg on March 1, 1935. The honour-name Norkus was once again granted October 1, 1938.
July 11, 1935 the Jungvolk Jungbann I/201 was raised with the name Moabit- Schoeneberg. The roman number was no longer used after August 1, 1937. The name for the Jungbann remained as it was. All information comes from the Verordnungsblatt from the Reichsjugendfuehrung.
It's also interseting to note within two weeks of the death of Herbert Norkus, Hitler spoke to the Berlin Hilter Youth at a rally the Tennishalle im Westen. The rally was attended by the SS, the Studentenbund and the Hitler Youth. Hitler peronally greeted and recognized the hero's Moabit camrades. Shortly after the death of Norkus, I'm unsure of the exact date, the flag of Schar 2 Hitler Juegend Beusselkeitz-Hansa became the Blutfahne of the Hitler Jugend.

Ok I'm not sure what category that this would fall into. Here is a vimy table medal given out to Canadian vets that served at Vimy and went to the opening of the Vimy memorial, and the children that also were brought over for the unveiling. These aren't very uncommon but I like them none the less. This one in has been inscribed C.S. Hewitt M.M. I have not be able to find anything on this gentleman and I have not been able to find a list of Military Merit winners.

Nothing special but... NPEA Reisen Schule dagger dated 1942 is one of my coolest one. Never seen another one before... therefor I find it rather rare.
