Late 1930's Hungarian Levente (Youth Org.) Leader's Hat Badge

Beautiful late 1930's Hungarian Levente (Youth Organization) Leader's Hat Badge. This badge is painted brass depicting the organization's emblem and reads "ISTEN- HAZA – KIRALY". Hungarian's youth was politically socialized into paramilitary groups trained for weapons use, their slogan was "batorsdg" or "Courage" and they were similar to Hitler's Youth.

Circa 1930's
