WWII GERMAN FEMALE RAD INSIGNIA AND PASS
This is a Deutscher Frauenarbeitsdienst (early Labour Service for women/girls) Arbeitszeugnis from 1934/1935, including the very rare female patch. These passses were only in use for a short time and only in 1934/1935, the Deutscher Frauenarbeitsdienst was the forerunner of the Reichsarbeitsdienst Weibliche Jugend that started in 1936, making this a rare set. The pass is unfortunely broken at the spine, but…it comes with the extremely rare armpatch for women. These patches were only in use for about a year or so and are very very hard to find!!! Despite the condition of the pass a very desirable and rare set! I think i priced it according to it’s condition very good!
