Neat - regrettaby single but scarcely found! - RAD- (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') hand-embroidered, officers'-type collar-tab as mounted onto a blue-coloured-background for a medium-ranked, medical RAD-officer ('mittlere Führer')

The neat - regrettably single but nevertheless scarcely encountered! - RAD- (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') hand-embroidered officers'-type collar-tab (ie. 'Kragenspiegel für mittlere Führer des Reichsarbeitsdienstes') was intended for usage by a medium-ranked, medical- (ie. 'Sanitäts'-) RAD-officer (ie. 'Feldmeister bis Oberfeldmeister' comparable with the rank of: 'Leutnant' to: 'Hauptmann') and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem never used- ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), conditon. The collar-tab on offer here is of the second-pattern type (as was used between the years 1936 and 1941) and is constructed from the specific, (darker) blue-coloured- and/or: 'smooth-type' wool. The pair shows extraordinary hand-embroidery and is constructed from (somewhat shiny) silver-toned 'braid' as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The neat collar-tab - which shows the beige-brownish coloured- and/or buckram-based 'backing' as to be expected - was (I deem) simply never used nor tunic-attached: it just shows some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by decades of storage only (as can be seen on the pictures). This tab originated from a smaller RAD-related insignia-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. It should be noted that these RAD-related, officers'-type collar-tab-sets as were intended for a medical RAD-official ie. 'RAD-Führer des mittlerer Dienstes' can easily be graded: 'fairly scarce'. I deem that this attractive example is with certainty accordingly priced!
