And here is a DSA mini in Bronze Regards Uwe

Hi David, no problem. Bronze, Silber and Gold are identical

Hi Dan, "Is that device on the bottom normal?" Yes, it is. Here are 3 of the 4 variant pieces, awarded 1964 - 1985. Missing is the second; at the reverse a needle, but without the pins. Regards Uwe

Hi Chris, I am a simply structured German, and I do not understand what Darrell with his statements would like to express. The badge ist post WWII, but I cannot date it. It could have been produced in the period from 1948 to 1952, may be still later. They were still sold many years later. I beg your pardon for my bad English. Regards Uwe

Hi Andy, are you sure, that you are talking (writing) about the same badge with DSA? 1966 it must be a DSB sports badge on the document, and not a DSA. Regards Uwe

Hi Grant, I can show you nearly all the different pieces you need in a collection, but there are several different versions, enamellled, varnished, with annual figures and coated with "Plaste". And also mixed! In my collection is a bundle of documents and medals for a man with 7 documents for a "Kollektiv der sozialistischen Arbeit" and 3 documents for a "Aktivist der sozialistischen Arbeit" In the picture you can see the "Kollektiv der sozialistischen Arbeit" for 1 award (both left, upper only in 1966), for 2, 3, 4 and 5 awards, below on the right only in 1975, to wear without the medal. Regards Uwe

"Dietrich Herfurth Sowjetische Auszeichnungen 1018-1991" said, that there are 2 variants, in silver and silvered. Look here as well: http://www.mondvor.narod.ru/MOhrGran.html First my bar with this medal

The piece shown here from the shooting club is very high priced. First, it is not complete, there is something missing in the middle (see my example in the middle) Second, it is damaged, see left on the arm. The pieces in my picture can be allocated to the period 1954-1961. Regards Uwe

Hi Roeland, the first cross is a typical award for a member in a shooting club. Civil, not military Please look here: http://www.steinlueck.de/schuetzen/unterru...F6nigsabzeichen or here: http://www.steinlueck.de/schuetzen/unterru...0und%20Auflagen Regards Uwe

Hi Joe, please look here: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=874 Regards Uwe

Hallo Hardy, yes, all the salesmen as Erich Beinhorn, Friedrich Sedlatzek, Fahnen-Fleck, Die Ordenssammlung, Rudolf Souval Wien, et cetera, et cetera sold the Third Reich decorations with swastika before 1957. You can find several of these decorations as originals in many collections Till 1957 there was no other design! Sorry, no pictures in that catalog. Regards Uwe
