Cased Reichssieger National Trade Competition Badge 1939

A Very Rare and Desirable - Ehrenzeichen Reichssieger im Reichsberufswettkampf 1939 by Gustav Brehmer of Markneukirchen. The National Trade Competition of the German Youth was organized as a joint sponsorship (HJ, DAF and NSDStB) as part of the Gleichschaltung of German society. The competition was divided into vocational and academic branches. It included manual, technical and artistic endeavors, testing professional, theoretical and ideological knowledge. The badges were awarded winners in three stages: bronze (Kreis/district), silver (Gau/state) and gold (Reich/National). It is constructed out of a die struck multi-piece tombak base that has been gold gilded and contains multicolored enamel work all behind a protective lacquer coating. The obverse depicts a German national eagle with outstretched wings clutching a cogwheel, that has a Hitler Youth diamond emblem above it, in its talons. This is above a smooth pearl white field that reads “Reichssieger 1939” and is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath. The concave full back reverse shows an embossed maker mark which reads: “G. Brehmer Markneukirchen”. It also has a soldered-on rectangular wire catch, soldered on block hinge and flat wire pin. All of which remain in well working condition. It measures 1 15/16 inches wide and tall. The cross comes housed in n earlier 1938 issue case. The case is constructed out of a wood and pressed cardboard base that is covered in a simulated grained black leatherette. The interior top lid is lined in that same black leatherette and features a pearl cloth hinge. The bottom interior of the case is constructed out of a cardboard base that is covered in a dark blue flocking material that outlines has a recessed area for the pin, hinge and catch. There is a steel push button to the front and a staggered bar hinge to the back. The case measures 2 1/2 inches wide and deep and 7/8 of an inch thick. Overall it is in wonderful condition! A rare opportunity to own an incredibly desirable piece.
