Attractive - unusally brownish-toned and rarely encountered! - EM- (ie. NCO-) pattern, so-called: RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') sleeve-badge (or: 'Dienststellenabzeichen') bearing the (to date unidentified!) specialist-designation: 'W 10'

This is a very attractive - unusally brownish- and NOT black-toned(!) and with certainty rarely encountered! - EM- (ie. NCO-) pattern of a so-called: RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') sleeve-badge (or: 'Dienststellen-Abzeichen') bearing the (to date unidentified!) specialist-designation: 'W 10' (of which the exact significance is not known to date) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. hardly used- ie. 'virtually mint'-), condition. These neat badges were worn on the upper left sleeve of the mustard-coloured (EM- ie. NCO-type-) RAD-tunics and/or garments. The badge which shows the bright-red-coloured- (and Gothic-styled) 'W'-character and Latin-styled '10'-numeral) - is neatly executed in so-called: 'BeVo'-weave technique as to be expected. The badge is neatly maker-marked and displays the interwoven so-called: 'Ges.Gesch.'-designation as is more often found on RAD cloth-based badges- and/or insignia. This badge originates from a smaller collection of rarely seen RAD cloth-insignia I recently acquired for the web-site. It should be noted that all RAD arm-badges (as executed onto and unusally brownish-toned(!) background!) are comparatively rarely encountered; those intended for specialised functions (ie. bearing specific lettering such as the one on offer here!) even more so!
