Mr. Saris... I always forget that rather "BIG" tidbit of information.... So.. Was this number their contract # for other items as you are correct in pointing out that the RZM had no control over the RaD.... Curious... Thank you Mr. Saris

This badge is on a cap - not correct for it. I don't know the manufacturer but can look. NH

You mentioned A4, which is the RZM manufacturing-code for cloth insignia,
but for political organizations like SA, political leaders and HJ stuff and for
example flags.

Red = a bullsh*t sellers story.
The badge only is in one color and is NOT a cap insignia.

Herewith the original order of introduction (see description):

Here some close-ups from photographs from Strassenbahn-females that will be
used in a coming volume for the series "Headgear of Hitler's Germany".
None of them has a colored swastika (neither do have the other photographs
of females in my possession!).
