Original 1938 Nazi German DAF Deutsche Arbeitsfront Receipt Third Reich Swastika Stamped Document

Original 1938 Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF – German Labour Front) financial document titled “Empfangs-Bestätigung”, or “Receipt Confirmation.”

This is an attractive original administrative document featuring the large printed DAF cogwheel and swastika emblem in the upper left. It is numbered No. 347337 and bears a purple “Verw. Stelle 24 Gießen” administrative marking, identifying it with the DAF office in Gießen, Germany.

The document records a payment of RM 52.10 (52 Reichsmarks and 10 Reichspfennig). It is dated at Gießen in 1938 and contains several period handwritten entries and signatures.

Of particular interest is the large circular DAF Dienstsiegel (official service seal) near the bottom, incorporating the cogwheel emblem. The combination of the printed insignia, numbered form, Gießen office marking, official seal and original signatures makes this a strong example of everyday Third Reich labor and financial bureaucracy.

Printed terminology includes:

“Die Deutsche Arbeitsfront” — “The German Labour Front”
“Empfangs-Bestätigung” — “Receipt Confirmation”
“Durchschrift” — “Duplicate / Carbon Copy”
“Dienststelle” — “Office / Administrative Office”
“Empfänger” — “Recipient”
“Dienstsiegel” — “Official Service Seal”

The DAF was the state-controlled labor organization established in Germany after independent trade unions were abolished in 1933, making surviving paperwork such as this useful primary-source material for studying the economic and working-life administration of the period.

Condition: Good original used condition with expected age toning, light spotting, handwritten entries, stamps and handling wear. Left edge retains the original perforated form edge. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition.
