Attractive, DRK (ie. 'Deutsches Rotes Kreuz') so-called: nurses'-badge entitled: 'Schwesternschaft', being a larger-sized version showing an engraved bearers'-number: ('1004'), town: ('Karlsruhe') and/or makers'-mark

This is an attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - neatly enamelled, so-called: DRK (ie. 'Deutsches Rotes Kreuz' or: German Red Cross) nurses'-badge entitled: 'Schwesternschaft', being a desirable larger-sized version showing an engraved bearers'-number: (that reads: '1004'), town- (ie. hospital-name): ('Karlsruhe') and/or and makers'-mark: 'A. Stübbe - Berlin' and that comes in a wonderful and virtually undamaged, condition. The piece was (IMO) clearly worn but is totally void of any (real) enamel-damage: it just shows some regular wear and does show some minor scratches ie. wear-marks (as can be seen on the pictures). The lapel-pin is nicely maker-marked: 'Ges.Gesch. - A. Stübbe - Berlin' and also is engraved with a (unique) bearers'-number that reads: '1004'. The badge most certainly belonged to a nurse that worked in a hospital or clinic based in Karlsruhe (something that is obvious due to the encountered engraving). The badge comes naturally mounted on its functional pin and/or catch (set-up). A similar badge is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken' lapel-pin-catalogue, wherein it is given the unique reference-number: 5613XG. The badge on offer here was never cleaned and shows an attractive (golden-coloured-) patina on its back. This is the desirable larger-sized version (having an approximate diameter of 4,2 cms.). Simply an attractive and honest example of this desirable DRK 'Schwesternschaft' lapel-pin that is not that often offered for sale!
