Hey all, I was wondering if someone can tell what the correct finishes should be for the fittings (gold/silver) and handle (white or off orange) for a NVA Dagger. Many thanks! Greg

Got A Few More Today - DDR Medals
gjw replied to gjw's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
Hey Tony, as of right now, I'm an opportunist/generalist as you said. I'm trying to get pieces that are common and very affordable (like all militaria, prices will go up sometime in the future). My next focus will be on awards with there Urkunde. Just wanted to thank you for all your kind words. They are very much appreciated! Your a heck of nice fellow! Stay well my friend Greg -

Hello all, got some pieces today in the mail to start out my new collecting venue, DDR Awards. All common medals, but a start. Pardon my poor photographic skills Best Regards Greg

Hello Tony, like you I love my A-H awards. But, I thought I'd expand my collection to another venue. I decided on DDR awards, as they are fairly inexpensive (for now) and are generally in excellent to mint condition. The cases are cheap plastic, but some have nicer cases for not much money also. It's not to hard to get a nice collection. As far as costs go, I have some favorite dealers I trust. I do have other collectors I've bought from that I trust also. Don't do much on Ebay, but have. The killer for me is the postage. It can be expensive from Europe to the US. I live in a sparsely populated state (North Dakota) and we have no militaria shows. The closest is 9 hours away in St Paul/Mpls. So for me, it's the internet or even Facebook Groups. I try to combine orders to save on postage. I guess all in all, it's more expensive than if I where in Europe or Great Britain. Thanks BTW for all your kind words on my posts, much appreciated! I also enjoy your posts, very informative and helpful. Best Regards! Greg
