Attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - officers'-pattern, so-called: RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') sleeve-badge (or: 'Dienststellenabzeichen') bearing the specialist-designation: 'M' ('Hauptmeldebeambter')

This is an attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - officers'-version of a so-called: RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') sleeve-badge (or: 'Dienststellen-Abzeichen') bearing the specialist-designation: 'M' (as was intended for a senior RAD-official with the truly not that often seen function of: 'Hauptmeldebeamter' or: senior communications-official) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. just moderately used- ie. once tunic-attached-), condition. These badges were worn on the upper left sleeve of the mustard-coloured (officers'-type-) RAD-tunics and/or garments. The badge - which shows the red-coloured 'M'-character) - is neatly executed in so-called 'flat-wire'-like 'BeVo'-weave technique. The piece was carefully folded ie. trimmed as to be expected (and still shows some stitching-remains caused by having been once tunic-attached). The badge is neatly maker-marked and displays the interwoven so-called: 'Ges.Gesch.'-make as is more often found on RAD cloth badges- and/or insignia. This badge originates from a smaller collection of rarely seen RAD cloth-insignia I recently acquired for the web-site. It should be noted that all RAD officers'-type badges are comparatively scarcely encountered: those intended for specialised functions such as the patch on offer here even more so!
