Original German WWII Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) Regimental Standarte

Original German WWII Reichsarbeitsdienst (Reich Labor Service) regimental standarte, measures approximately 135 cm × 127 cm (53" × 50"), including the fringe. This example features detailed multi-piece construction, with a vibrant red field and a large black swastika outlined in light gray tresse on both sides.

The central white roundel displays the RAD spade and wheat emblem, with raised embroidered details. Surrounding the roundel is a black border decorated with heavily embroidered white wheat motifs. The separately applied fabric sections and contrasting embroidery give the design considerable depth.

Silver metal fringe borders three sides, with the mounting edge left unfringed. No mounting rings or unit corner patch are present. The fringe remains well preserved, with some uneven strands, while a few loose threads are visible along the mounting edge.

There is minor age-related staining to the white central circle and portions of the embroidered wheat, along with light handling and storage wear. The colors remain strong, and the embroidery is well preserved. Overall, this standarte remains in excellent condition.
