Rad Traditions Edelweiss

**Gwar** · 02-28-2015, 10:51 PM

After a few posts and much anguish... I feel I have found a RaD traditions edelweiss cap badge.. Among other things...
Will anyone comment on this and Mr. Saris especially your thoughts are most appreciated.. I will pull the trigger on the purchase as soon as I can confirm.... But as far as I can tell... I may just do so now....G

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

Yes, it was mine before I sold my traditions collection to mr. Huesken and yes its the RAD
form as published in the Verordnungsblatt (two leaves at right). Later is was two at left.
This flower is in volume 5 from "Headgear of Hitler's Germany", page 418, upper photos.

Thank you Mr. Saris... This program is preventing me from sending a full message... Perhaps I will soon be able to...

Thank you for helping me and I will post the badge soon.... I look forward to many more interactions with you in the future... G

It is really a great site for collectors I must admit !!

Great I could help. In a few weeks there is the March Kassel-show.
Maybe I find some RAD traditions badges, as since early January I
did re-start collecting them. After my return I will photograph what
I got so far!
