Superb, neatly enamelled and TR-period lapel-pin (ie. 'service-brooch' or: 'goldene Verdienstbrosche') as was intended for a female member who served within the: 'Reichsfachschaft deutscher Hebammen' (or: 'RDH')

This is an attractive - and actually truly scarcely encountered! - example of a nicely executed (ie. colourful enamelled!) 'service-brooch' or: 'goldene Verdienstbrosche') as was specifically intended for a female member who served within the: 'Reichsfachschaft deutscher Hebammen' (or: 'RDH') (ie. midwife war-service association) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The service-brooch - which has an approximate width of 4 cms. - shows an illustration of a nurse holding a child surrounded by the text: 'Im Dienste der Zukunft unseres Volkes': moreover, is this the scarcely found (golden-class ie. highest-grade pattern that shows a swastika). The piece - which is executed in neatly enamelled metal (ie. 'Buntmetall') - is a tiny bit dirty ie. stained but was most certainly never cleaned ie. polished: it is still a bit dirty ie. dusty but is totally void of any (enamel)damage. This example is void of a makers'-designation but does show a 'Ges.Gesch.'-patent-pending-designation (and artifical golden-content ie. 'doubl.'-designation its back. The pin - which comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- ie. pin/catch set-up - is also figured in the Heering-Hüsken lapel-pin-catalogue, wherein it is given a unique reference-number (5814C) and an estimated value of 375 Eu (!). The example on offer here originates from a German private-household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive - and surely decorative! - TR-period, female-related 'Mitgliedsbrosche' (with swastika!) that is with certainty accordingly priced!
