RDR - Reich radio listeners association??

[Eric Broome]

Hello everyone, anyone ever hear of this association? Supposedly was a private group started in 1930 and disbanded in 1936. I guess like a ham radio club? I have a found an enamel badge for them for sale and while researching , the only place I can find one is on emedals... Have any members here heard of these badges and are they the real thing? The reverse is marked ges gesch and hoffstatter bonn (another reason I worry about it). Front is like a normal party badge, red ring wiith design in the middle. Somne lightnigh bolt looking motif around the edge and what appears to be an antenna at 12 oclock. Can't seem to steal the image and don't want to link to emedals so I apologize for the lack of image. Thanks in advance for any ideas or opinions.

Yes. I have one. They aren't worth a whole lot. $25-$35 tops. Send me an email and I'll send you a picture of mine.

Believe there is a thread about these on the GMIC. Might want to check there.

Hello Jimmy, I am not familiar with this site. Or at least I don't recognize it by the abrev. The one above looks right to me. Twice ges gesch marked on reverse, it's the hoffstatter bonn one that worries me. Besides, the one I saw for sale was asking for $75. If they are only worth 25-35 as Blackbird states above, the I will probably just pass. Still a badge I haven't seen and that appeals to me aesthetically.

If you hunt for long enough you may even find the Third Reich version...

Oh I realize, I've scoured the web all day and haven't even found another image. That said, the heart wants what the heart wants......

Don, my pm box is always open if you decide you can't stand to look at it any more....

To be honest, this is the only Third Reich version I've ever seen in all my years of collecting.

John T has two nice non TR versions on his site for $95 each

I saw those yesterday but thanks for the links just the same and thanks again for sharing. At least now we know it exists, wouldn't have even known that otherwise.
