Gents This little bugger is very hard to see no less try to interpret. I am hoping one of our esteemed German literati could give me a hand. Perhaps it is time to upgrade my eyewear too. Have a great weekend. Robert

Sorry about that. I am in the middle of painting my house so I step in here for a nice break. Here it is. Do you want to see the reverse? Robert

Here is the reverse. The cut-out area may indicate post-war but I don't know for sure. Perhaps a Mother's helper? An aux pair? I don't know but it is a pretty badge in the Frauenschaft vein. I am going to put it on the tinnie thread and try to get a response from Pete Wood. He may know. Take Care Robert

Anything with the No-No word "Reichs" in it wouldn't have been used after 1945.

Huesken says it is indeed the "Reichsmuttersdienst" - an NSV initiative. See: http://www.german-militaria.de/details/e13501.html

Stephen, Very interesting. Thanks for that thread. Any thoughts on the sqaure dot in Husken on the Student Badge. Robert
