Attractive, semi-enamelled RLB- (ie. 'Reichluftschützbund') 'Zivilabzeichen' or: civil-attire badge (of the first pattern), bearing a neat makers-mark ('Hoffstätter') and patent-pending- (ie. 'Ges.Gesch.'-) marking on its back

This is an attractive example of a first pattern- and semi-enamelled RLB- (ie. 'Reichluftschützbund') so-called: 'Zivilabzeichen' (or: civil-attire badge) bearing a clearly present makers'-mark (that reads: 'Hoffstätter - Bonn') and patent-pending- (ie. 'Ges.Gesch.'-) marking on its back and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit used- ie. worn-), condition. The piece has stunning (and totally undamaged!) blue-coloured enamel and comes mounted on its original and functional long-sized pin (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished and is a tiny bit stained ie. tarnished. A similar badge is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken' lapel-pin catalogue, werein it is given the unique reference number: '5909A'. Simply an attractive and desirable 'RLB'-related item: hard to encounter a nicer example for a more interesting price!
