Attractive, DRK (ie. 'Deutsches Rotes Kreuz') so-called: nurses'-badge entitled: 'Schwesternschaft' being a medium-sized version showing an engraved bearers'-number: ('820'), town: ('Karlsruhe') and/or makers'-mark ('A. Stübbe - Berlin')

This is an attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - neatly enamelled, so-called: DRK (ie. 'Deutsches Rotes Kreuz' or: German Red Cross) nurses'-badge entitled: 'Schwesternschaft' being a medium-sized version showing a neatly engraved bearers'-number: (that reads: '820'), (presumed) town- (ie. hospital-name): 'Karlsruhe' and/or and clear makers'-mark: 'A. Stübbe - Berlin' and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit I deem moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The piece was clearly worn but is NOT denazified and is totally void of any enamel-damage as can be noticed on the pictures: moreover, does it show some regular wear and shows some minor scratches ie. wear-marks (as can be seen on the pictures). The lapel-pin is nicely maker-marked: 'Ges.Gesch. - A. Stübbe - Berlin' and also is engraved with a (unique) bearers'-number that reads: '820'. The badge most certainly belonged to a nurse (ie. trainee) that worked in a hospital or clinic based in the town of Karlsruhe (something that is obvious due to the encountered engraving). The badge comes mounted onto its (re-soldered but still functional) pin and/or pin-/catch (set-up). A similar badge is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken'-lapel-pin-catalogue, where it is given the unique reference-number: 5613XH. The badge on offer here was never cleaned and shows an attractive (golden-bronze-coloured-) patina on its back. This is the medium-sized version (having an approximate diameter of 3,2 cms.). Simply a very attractive and honest example of this desirable DRK 'Schwesternschaft' lapel-pin that is not that often offered for sale and that is I deem priced according to its re-attached pin!
