'Reichsarbeitsdienst der weiblichen Jugend' (or: RADwJ ie.: Womens Labour Service) so-called: 'Brosche für Maidenführerin'

The attractive - most certainly worn and actually not that easily found! - 'RADwJ-Brosche für Maidenführerin' (or: RADwJ-membership-brooch for senior officials ie. leaders) has an approximate diameter of 4,5 cms. and still retains pronounced detail: it comes mounted onto its (functional and/or unaltered) pin-set-up (as can be seen on the pictures). The brooch - which is a regular-weight version as was executed in minimally tarnished, bronze-toned metal (ie. I deem steel) - is as stated above a (typical) non-maker-marked example that was (I deem) just moderately worn: it was presumably never cleaned nor polished and retains a minimally tarnished age-patina, showing some normal age and/or staining. A similar 'brooch' is also figured in the Heering-Hüsken-'Abzeichen'-catalogue, wherein it is given a unique reference-number (3806F) and given an estimated value of 180 Eu. I deem that this attractive - and scarcely found! - RADwJ-brooch is accordingly priced!
