Officers'-pattern, so-called: RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') sleeve-badge (or: 'Dienststellenabzeichen') bearing the specialist-designation: 'M' (or: 'Hauptmeldebeambter')

This is a very attractive - and actually very scarcely encountered! - officers'-type 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 nice- (ie. I deem probably issued- albeit simply never 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 never folded nor trimmed and can be easily be graded as 'virtually mint' as to be expected. 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 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 even more so!
