DRK- (ie. 'Deutsches Rotes Kreuz'- or German Red Cross) related so-called: nurses'-brooch entitled: 'Freie Schwesternschaft' (being a moderately used-, multi-coloured-enamelled albeit non-maker-marked example)

This is an attractive - nicely preserved and actually quite scarcely encountered! - DRK- (ie. 'Deutsches Rotes Kreuz'- or German Red Cross) so-called: nurses'-badge entitled: 'Freie Schwesternschaft' being an attractive, multi-coloured enamelled (and typically non-maker-marked) example that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The badge is made-out of silvered so-called: 'Buntmetall' and truly retains almost immaculate enamel and/or fairly tarnished (albeit silvered) finish (truly no real damages are noticable). The badge is totally void of a makers'-designation (nor 'Ges.Gesch.'-patent-pending-designation) and shows a fully functional pin ie. catch (set-up) in place (as can be seen on the pictures). The fairly large-sized brooch (having an approximate diameter of 3,7 cms.) was most certainly issued and/or worn: it has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished and still has a neat, somewhat 'darkened' age-patina. A similar pin is also figured in the Heering-Hüsken lapel-pin-catalogue, wherein it is given the unique reference-number: 5627A and an estimated value of 180 Eu(!). Simply an attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - DRK- (ie. 'Deutsches Rotes Kreuz'- or German Red Cross) related so-called: 'Freie Schwesternschaft'-brooch that is I deem accordingly priced!
