Pin similar(?) to NS-Frauenschaft

[webr55]

Hello all,
does anyone know what this is? It is on a nurse's uniform (unfortunately the pic is not very clear). It looks like NS-Frauenschaft, but in the center there is not the swaz, but ... what? Something medical?



Thanks
Chris

Chris,

Are you sure it isn't a swastika in the centre, and consequently, a Frauenschaft badge?

I can't think what else it could be.

Best regards,
Toby.

I think it is a Swaz, the light sometimes distorts images on film. You often see similar effects with Swastkas on the SS helmets in old pictures, the image distortsdue to angles etc.

Thanks for your answers. Well, it MIGHT be a distorted swaz. Initially, to me it looked like some sort of snake symbol, like an Aesculapian staff. That's why I thought it could be something other than NS-Frauenschaft, being on a nurse's uniform.

That clearly is a swastika, would it be possible for you to post the whole picture so we could see it better? It maybe a Deutscher Frauenorden badge the forerunner of the NS-Frauenschaft.

Ok, here is a larger detail of the picture:

Thanks for the picture to bad it doesn't help just to much glare.
But all I can make out on the top border it looks an possible N which leads me to believe it is a NAT.SOZ.FRAUENSCHAFT badge.

My vote is also for a plain old type II Frauenschaft member's badge.
