HI,
this button is probably a membership sign for the Verband Reisender Kaufleute Deutschlands.

Hello,

thanks for the info and the link!!Im happier now knowing it is a ww2 era membership badge,also with a link to the DAF,another plus for me since i am interested in labor related organizations.

K84 nailed it. You'll find it as #2507a in the Heering-Hüsken catalog.

Hello,

Can you tell me how much they were asking for this badge,I was curious how much it was worth.

The Heering-Hüsken book is a catalog of types, not a sales catalog. Anyone interested in German pins should own a copy. Anyway, this membership pin is valued at DM75. The rarer "Dem treuen Mitbegründer 26./12. 1884-1909" pin from the same organization is valued at about 4 times that amount.
