[new world]

I could not find any info on this forum for East German Hero Socialist Labor awards, i am not sure this was discussed in details.

Where can I see some stats abut DDR HSL awards:

- number awarded,

- variations,

- prices,

- pics of real awards,

- fakes

Thank you,

William

Number awarded: up to 50 a year, i couldn?t find a concrete number

prices 1500-2000 Euro, but its a while ago, that i have seen one for sale. They seem to have dissappeared.

Pictures of real awards: here is a thread of a documented HSL in the collection of Ed Haynes:

Ed,

Thanks!

What's number 54 on the suspension on Labor Hero medal?

No idea, William. Wish I knew. I assume some record-keeping tag, but clearly NOT an award number. Early ones were numberd and dated on the reverse. The focus on military awards has meant we don't know as much as we'd like on civilian awards of the DDR.
