I cannot comment on value, but as for the organization:
NSAO was the abbreviation for Nationalsozialistischer Reichsverband der Deutschen Arbeitsopfer [National Socialist National Association of German Work Victims]. This was a welfare organization for German workers who had become victims of industrial injury or accident.
NSAO was the original designation. In 1933, it was re-named GAO or Gesamtverband Arbeitsopfer [United Association of Work Victims], later GDAO or Gesamtverband deutscher Arbeitsopfer [United Association of German Work Victims] before finally settling to DAOV or Deutsche Arbeitsopfer-Versorgung [German Work Victims Welfare].
