[RonR]

Believe this to be a NSB Nederlandse Arbeid Front members pin.

Please correct me if this is in error......

Hi Ron,

The Wolfsangle suggests a Dutch background, but I don't recognize it as Dutch.
The motto reads 'Arbeit adelt', just like the motto on the RAD hewer.
However, in Dutch it should read: 'Arbeid adelt'.

So in German Arbeit with a T and in Dutch Arbeid with a D.
Small but important difference.

Nevertheless: most interesting item.

Kind regards,
Martin

No Dutch

Its a German badge, probably labour service related. Its only the second ive ever seen. For an explanaition: see Martins above here.

Martin,

Of course you are right, and my error for not reading the "t" instead of a "d"

And thanks to all for your kind explanations.

When trying to research this one, I felt that it resembled the Dutch Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging Labor Corps (NSB NAF - Nederlandse Arbeid Front) Membership Badge......
