Superb - and very rarely found! - officers'-pattern, RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') trade- and/or special-career-insignia showing an upward-positioned arrow- ie. tool-sign as executed in 'flatwire'-woven thread (ie. denoting 'Planung'-staff)

This is a very attractive - and with certainty very rarely encountered! - (I deem) officers'-pattern, so-called: RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') special-career arm-insignia (or: 'Laufbahn- o. Tätigkeitsabzeichen' aka: 'RAD-Funktionsabzeichen') depicting a upward-positioned arrow- ie. tool-sign as executed in silver-toned 'flatwire'-woven thread as was specifically intended for usage by a comissioned: 'Mitglied der Planung' (or: planning-staff official having an officers'-status) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem simply never worn- nor tunic-attached-), 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-toned-coloured upward-positioned arrow ie. tool - is neatly executed in so-called 'flatwire', '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. This badge originates from a smaller collection of rarely seen RAD-related cloth-insignia I recently acquired for the web-site. It should be noted that all 'RAD-Funktionsabzeichen' are quite rarely encountered: those intended for specialised (officers!) functions such as the one offered here even more so!
