Attractive, N.S.A.D.- (ie. 'N.S.-Arbeitsdienst'-) related membership lapel-pin for supportive members in the province Franken (ie. 'Mitgliedsabzeichen für förderende Mitglieder') being a maker- (ie. 'RzM - 14'-) marked example

This is a neat - and unusally shaped and with certainty not that often encountered! - so-called: N.S.A.D.- (ie. 'National-Socialistischer Arbeitsdienst'-) related membership lapel-pin (ie. 'Mitgliedsabzeichen') for supportive members in the province Franken (ie. 'Mitgliedsabzeichen für förderende Mitglieder in Franken'), being a nicely maker- (ie. 'RzM - 14'-) marked example showing the text: 'Arbeitsdienst-Förderer - Franken' and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit clearly issued- ie. worn-) condition. The piece is executed in reddish-bronze-toned- and (I deem) 'Buntmetall': it shows some normal wear and/or moderate age but has never been cleaned nor polished (it is still a bit dirty but has maintained a neat, somewhat darkened ie. tarnished-, age-patina). The badge comes mounted onto its functional pin- ie. catch set-up and shows some minimal age ie. staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The neat piece - which shows the so-called: 'N.S.A.D.-Spaten'-illustration - shows the text: 'Arbeitsdienst-Förderer - Franken' and is neatly maker- (ie.'RzM - 14'-) marked on its back (as can be seen on the pictures). A similar example is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken Abzeichenkatalog' wherein it is given a unique reference-number (3804D) and an estimated value of 120 Eu. Simply a nice occasion to acquire a neat - and with certainty not that often seen! - N.S.A.D.-related, so-called: 'Mitgliedsabzeichen für förderende Mitglieder in Franken' for an interesting price!
