At the request of dj-Joe, I've put together a summary of the badges of the Female RAD. --Reichsbeitsdienst fur den Weiblichen Jugend--
Their rank was designated by a brooch worn at the neck. Piping around the uniform collar and silver/cotton sleeve emblems denoting their district also indicated rank. As this is a badge forum, we'll concentrate on the metal items.
If you are interested in the RADwJ sit back and enjoy the show. If you're not - I apologize in advance.
The brooches were in three distinct patterns.
The first pattern was offered in 4 grades. It was worn until 1937. These badges were all serial numbered. There was no maker code or year markings on the reverse. See photo 1
