RAD GENERALS COLLAR PATCHES.

RAD GENERALS COLLAR PATCHES.

This is a beautiful and very rare matched set of German RAD Generals collar patches. Each collar patch features a gold bullion wheatsheaf with gold bullion border on black velvet backing. In over 30 years this is only the 2nd set of RAD Generals collar patches I have ever owned, they are much harder to find than SS Generals collar patches as there were very few RAD Generals compared to other organizations. Perfect for a RAD or insignia collection, but they would also look really nice displayed with an RAD officers dagger. [Condition: Mint]
