Truly used - and/or unsually confectioned! - RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') EM-/NCO-pattern sleeve-badge (or: 'Dienststellenabzeichen') bearing the specialist- ie. unit-designation: '314/6'

This is an attractive - fairly unusually confectioned and actually not that easily encountered! - enlisted-mens'- ie. NCO-) version of a so-called: RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') sleeve-badge (or: 'Dienststellen-Abzeichen für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere des Reichsarbeitsdienstes') bearing the specialist- ie. unit-unit-designation that reads: '314/6' (as was presumably intended for a RAD-official who served within the 314th district ie. 'Bezirk') and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. just minimally used- ie. once tunic-attached-), condition. These attractive arm-badges were worn on the upper left sleeve of the mustard-coloured (officers'-type-) RAD-tunics and/or garments. The badge - which shows the red-coloured '314/6'-numerals - is neatly executed in so-called 'BeVo'-weave technique and was as such intended for a soldier who served within the 314th district ie. 'Bezirk'. The piece was carefully pre-folded ie. trimmed and was (period) attached onto a carton-based 'backing' (intended to easily attach and/or remove the piece from a tunic). It should be noted that all 'RAD-Dienststellenabzeichen' are comparatively scarcely encountered: even more so when they are neatly pre-confectioned as the specimen on offer!
