WWII GERMAN FEMALE RAD INSIGNIA
Attractive - and fairly scarcely encountered! - early-pattern armbadge (ie. 'Ärmelabzeichen') as was intended for a female member within the: 'Deutscher Frauenarbeitsdienst' (or: women's labour-service) This is an attractive - and fairly scarcely encountered! - early-pattern armbadge (ie. 'Ärmelabzeichen o. Ärmelraute') as was intended for a female member who served within the: 'Deutscher Frauenarbeitsdienst' (or: women's labour-service) and that comes in an overall very nice (and IMO only moderately used- ie. tunic-removed-), condition. The neat badge - which is somewhat shaped as a regular 'HJ-Raute' - measures 9 x 7 cms. 4,5 cms. and shows a black-coloured swastika-sign surrounded by some cornflowers on a red- and white-coloured background. The 'BeVo'-woven-type badge - which was to be worn on the left upper-arm - was clearly worn and carefully tunic-removed (it still shows some minimal stitching-holes and is minimally stained as can be seen on the pictures Deutscher Frauenarbeitsdienst' was the predecessor of the later-founded: 'RADwJ' (or: 'Reichsarbeitsdienst des weiblichen Jugend'). Simply an attractive, early-period female-related TR-related 'Ärmelabzeichen' that is IMO accordingly priced.
