Reichsarbeitsdienst bier krug

[samland]

I searched the internet. Indeed - this is the type of emblem with a black back background found on steel helmets. But I also found this arm title. This is a copy from original. Only the black background behind the emblem is missing. I do not know - when these bandages were used - at the beginning of the war or after the start of the war. Only one thing can be said - this type of emblem is very rare.

I am not at all convinced about this item. I would certainly pass on it if offered to me.

Cheers, Ade.

Ade ! Do you consider the RAD mug to be modern?

[Adrian Stevenson]

I do.

[Horst]

I would agree a Post 45 put together

Horst! I don`t understand what you mean ?

[Horst]

I mean that the mug you show in the first posting is not period and I show a couple of mine which are period.
Hope this clarifies.

So 'RARE' that there is no documentation of their use, in all my years of collecting / studying the Reichsarbeitsdienst I have never seen one of these in wear, there are some theories as to originality but none that hold any water so to say.. G
