Rarely seen, RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdient') officers'-pattern armbadge as executed in neat 'BeVo'-weave 'flat-wire' pattern as was intended for usage by a: 'Muzikzug-Führer' (ie. 'RAD-Obermuzikzug-Führer')

This is a very attractive - and actually truly very scarcely encountered! - RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdient') officers'-pattern, special-career arm-insignia (or: 'Laufbahn- o. Tätigkeitsabzeichen' aka: 'RAD-Funktionsabzeichen') depicting lyra-sign as was specifically intended for usage by a: 'Muzikzug-Führer' (ie. 'RAD-Obermuzikzug-Führer' or band leader) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-) condition. These badges were worn on the lower left sleeve of the mustard-coloured (officers'-type) RAD-tunics and/or garments. The badge - which shows the silver-coloured upward-positioned lyra-sign - is neatly executed in so-called: 'flat-wire', 'BeVo'-weave technique. The piece was never folded nor trimmed as to be expected and comes as 'straightly cut-of-the role' (but does show some minimal fraying on both top and bottom). The badge is neatly maker-marked and displays the interwoven so-called: 'Ges.Gesch.'-designation as is more often found on RAD cloth badges- and/or insignia. It should be noted that all 'RAD-Funktionsabzeichen' are quite rarely encountered: those intended for specialised (officer!) functions such as the one offered here even more so!
