RAD BeVo-Woven Cap Badge – EM/NCO Type

riginal Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) Mützenabzeichen for the Schiffchen / Einheitsfeldmütze, in the BeVo-woven EM/NCO (Mannschaften/Unterführer) type.

The badge is executed in the characteristic woven construction, featuring the RAD emblem with the stylised spade, wheat ears and central swastika. The reverse shows the characteristic folded and woven construction, with the original fabric still present. BeVo-woven RAD cap badges of this type were intended for wear on the RAD field and side caps.

A nice original example for the RAD collector, particularly suitable for completing a period RAD uniform or insignia display. The piece shows age-related wear and some handling/storage damage, as visible in the photographs, but remains an interesting original period textile insignia.
