Rare

I just performed a search on e-bay using only the term "rare" in the category Militaria ----> WWII (1939-1945) and got 907 hits. If you see "rare", see red.

This is a badge from the Patriotic Women’s Association.

Honestly it seems as though there is a saturation effect going on right now with these badges and many are not selling on ebay (even with starting prices at $.01). Zach

It is the Ordinary Member's badge of the Patriotic Women's Association and very common. I sell them on ebay for about $5 each. Describing this is rare is stretching the imagination somewhat !

My advice is to buy your Japanese awards on Ebay (that's something you'll never hear anyone say about German stuff ). It's not highly faked and usually tends to go for a lot less than things on tables.
