A very nice calendar indeed.. The seventh photo portrays "The Rad Traditions Badges" The one's I have "Boxed" are seldom seen for sale and IMO quite hard to obtain... The other pic I have posted has me a bit puzzled.
"Nieder Rhein" I believe this also to be a "Traditions" badge... I may be mistaken...
As usual Kirk a nice find and in excellent condition..

You know I didn't even get past the first post and saw the RAD's traditions page and just KNEW it had G written all over it.
That is a neat little book! Wish I could read it. Some nice weekend projects in there!! Especially page 85. You should try building one of these and converting it into your Underground War Room.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Nice booklet with the drawings from a survey of orders for the RAD, published wartime.
I owned all of the "tradiotions-badges" when I did collect them (more then one),
except the last one for XXXVIII. No person or dealer, I asked about, has ever seen
"Böhmen und Mähren".
IV - "Pommern-Ost" I had only found one and is indeed very difficult! It is shown
in volume 5, page 438 and is Hoffstätter-made. The one for V is the most faked of
them! You hardly ever see a good one, just the "bad" one....
About "Niederrhein", read volume 5 pages 426-427 and you know the reason
it is not included..
Look at the page 129 for the females hat badge and you will see the form for the
badge, which actually was worn, has another form.
I have had RAD pocket kalenders, but never kept them because the RAD is of no interest to me.
I have kept Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe und SS kalenders. I have several years for all 3 of these, most being in Exc cond and a couple with notations on different days. They range from pre war to 1944 dates.
