Attractive - and matching! - pair of RAD- (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') hand-embroidered, officers'-type collar-tabs (of the 2nd pattern) as mounted onto a green-coloured background as was intended for a medium-ranked RAD-officer ('mittlere Führer')

The attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - RAD- (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') hand-embroidered collar-tab pair (ie. 'Kragenspiegelsatz für mittlere Führer des Reichsarbeitsdienstes') was intended for usage by a medium-ranked, administrative- (ie. 'Verwaltungs'-) RAD-officer (ie. 'Feldmeister bis Oberfeldmeister' comparable with the rank of: 'Leutnant' to: 'Hauptmann') and comes in a never used- ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-, conditon. The pair on offer here is of the second-pattern type (as was used between the years 1936 and 1941) and is constructed from the specific, darker-green-coloured- and/or: typical 'velvet-type' wool. The pair shows extraordinary hand-embroidery and is constructed from (shiny!) silver-toned 'braid' as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The attractive collar-tab-pair - which shows the beige-brownish coloured- and buckram-based 'backings' as to be expected - was simply never used nor tunic-attached: it just shows some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by decades of storage only (as can be seen on the pictures). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this pair is still 'tied-together' as it left the factory and does still show a period inventory-etiket (that shows a price of '6,- RM' as can be seen on the pictures). This pair originated from a smaller RAD-related insignia-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. It should be noted that these RAD-related, officers'-type collar-tab-sets as were intended for an administrative RAD-official ie.: 'RAD-Führer des mittlerer Dienstes' can easily be graded: 'fairly scarce'. I deem that this attractive pair is accordingly priced!
