      The difference to a Typ 3 Var 5 seem to be in the torch and the middle where the hammer and sickle are. regards Andreas

      I am not totally sure, but I didn?t like it. It seems to be, that the deatails are blurred and not crisp. regards Andreas

      Hello, be careful. It seems to be, that all rarer DDR awards are faked. A few days ago, I saw a lot of faked excellent badges on the internet. They were offered as collector copies. regards Andreas

      Hello Gerd, no sadly I only have this 3rd class document. They become rare. Years ago you saw them often on ebay. regards Andreas
    9. Alfred
      The document was today in my mail box. regards Andreas
    10. Alfred
      nice piece Gerd , that would be an enrichment for your collection and to the group to which to red banner belongs. What other awards are missing from the group ? regards Andreas "So, what is the reason, why this one is special? Andreas, you are excluded from this quiz "

      His rank is private, a translation of the word could be red soldier. In German the word is "Rotarmist" He served in the 1.376 Rifle Regiment, 417 Rifle Divison. regards Andreas

      Hello, this valour medal s/n: 3.439.972 with document came in today. It?s a nice little group. Awarded on 02.10.1951. Will be one of my next research projects. regards Andreas
    14. Alfred
      serial number

      I look a second time at the medal and, it could be a original one. Comapare the P in the word CCCP with a P in the later versions of the medals and with the earlier one. The P looks okay for a hand engraved medal. Maybe the ring broke off and was replaced later. regards Andreas
    16. Alfred
      To my mind a fake, look at the ring of the medal and the engraving style looks horroble. regards Andreas
    17. Alfred
      Hello, medals on post number 1 and 5 are identical. I think the medal is okay. regards Andreas
    18. Alfred
      Here is a better scan of the medal. It is not really an U-shaped medal. If you look at a certain point of angle it looks so. In my oppinion the medal is okay. regards Andreas
    19. Alfred
      Paul, thats the title of the 31th tank coprs. great medal Would be very nice to reunion the group regards Andreas
    20. Alfred
      Hello, in the most cases I saw a round ring with 30th anniversary of soviet army and navy medals. Is a U-shaped ring at the 30th anniversary medal a rare variant or a fake? In the last days I saw two of them. regards and thanks Andreas

      Christian, try this side. There are all versions of the badges shown. http://www.znakisssr.h15.ru/ Here is a copy of a sniper badge. I never saw a real one with these upright lines. A good indicator is the fixing of the screwpost. If it looks like a screw, it?s a fake. The first fakes of these badges appeared in 1991 or 1992. regards Andreas
    22. Alfred
      There are many different variants of these bages. The pictures are not very clear. Expecially you can?t see the screwpost. But I think both (sniper and submariner) are fakes. The screwpost tip looks very sharp and unused. I will post pictures of fakes later. regards Andras

      Serial number 123.735 was awarded 05.08.1944 to a member of the 69 Army. So my guess, to your number. (see Paul J. Schmitt Echoes of War page 139) regards Andreas
    24. Alfred
      Just a guess: August 1944 69 Army ??? regards Andreas
    25. Alfred
      Yes, or they gave the german towns new polish names. I could find any of these towns (Kimverden, Altdamm, Oberhof) on a new map from Poland. http://mapa.szukacz.pl/?z_city_id=24&form_t=1 regards Andreas
