In silvered brass, the HJ emblem enameled, the wreath hallmarked on reverse "GES.GESCH." and "WITTMANN MÜNCHEN", the separately attached inner part hollow struck, reverse features double pin set up, wreath diameter is 59.5mm, while badge weighs 30.7 grams. In excessively rare box of issue! Slightly worn badge, in nearly extremely fine condition. Extremely rare award, with less then 100 awarded, and very desirable.
The Badge was founded in late 1933 or early 1934, and could be conferred upon members of the Hitler Youth, BDM, Jungvolk, and Jungmädel.
The exact reason the Badge was awarded is unknown, although it was likely an award for passing some form of alpine skiing test.
The Badge may have been discontinued shortly after its establishment.
