To compare:
Sleeve badge for the NSKK-Verkehrserziehungsdienst ( Traffic Education Service, existing from 1936 through 1945)
Granted to the NSKK personal who had served well for six months "ehrenamtlich", which largely means unpaid.

Mine is die struck from what looks like aluminum.
Details are sharp and crisp.
It’s one of the nicest I’ve seen.

should be the give away! The person who told me this was an
expert in these subjects. If the shield is actually vaulting, then it
has a good chance!Comment

The best way to check is the back of plate. Is possible retire the Green felt?
