RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') so-called: 'Dienstauszeichnung 3. Stufe für Männer' (as was intended for 12 years loyal-service) and that came mounted onto its period piece of ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt')

The truly attractive - and with certainty not that often- ie. actually scarcely found! - RAD-loyal-service-award (ie. 'Dienstauszeichnung 3. Stufe für Männer') is of the typical 'light-weight'- (ie. aluminium-based) version and retains pronounced details and has a great ie. only minimally darkened- ie. tarnished age-patina: it retains almost all of its fairly 'glossy'- and/or: typical (shiny) silver-toned and 'frosted' finish and has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished (it still retains a fair bit of its 'off-factory' polished sides ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten' as can be seen on the pictures). The piece came mounted onto its full-length piece (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') of cornflower-blue coloured ribbon (which is neatly pre-folded and that still retains its copper-toned 'clip' for easy tunic-attachement). Simply an attractive example of this: 'RAD-Dienstauszeichnung 3. Stufe für Männer' that is most certainly priced according to its nicely preserved and/or fully untouched condition!
