The reverse.

Hello everyone what do you think of this eagle.Thank you

Very cool find! That capture paper really makes it an extra cool one! You should post this to gunboards.com in the Japanese section.

Thanks gang, no boom all body parts still in one place :cheeky:

Right ,

I,m unsure as how to approach doing the collar tabs i will look for the thread on this , there is light bobbling on the inside of the collar and cuffs so i think it has been worn a little .

I have 2 general qualification clasps grade 2 & 3 would they be ok to use ?

Also have an academy badge i assume this is the right one :

All in all it's a very nice tunic

Hi all,

just had a question, i bought a KampfOrden in gold and there was something i am not shure of. The white enamel circle around the center is more of a graish blue, is this right or just a variation?

Here is a view of the reverse.

Hello All,

JUst need a opinion on this medal bar. The one thing that bothers me is the ribbon on the kampf order is off in color.

Thanks gang

Cabbell2207 - Looks like Uwe and I have taken over your thread.

Uwe - Nice set of pilots hangers, I have all but the Red 4500, 5000 and the Blue 13,000 & 14,000. Unfortunately mine are a mix of the hangers for the new and old pilots badges.

No thats o.k. i'm learning, nice items speedytop :cheers:

Cabbell2207 - Prawema was the maker of all NVA badges. They kept on producing badges after unification to keep their workforce employed. I've been told they were still selling badges as late as 1993. They also made restrikes of a number of older rarer badges. In the case of the late issue badges like the Master Pilot the badges produced during DDR time and after are nearly identical. Kevin

Thank you all for the info. Well i must say i learned something today, knowledge is the key :cheers:

It's true that the around 200 Meisterklasse Pilot's badges that were issued didn't have hangers. However, this badge came out very late, in 1988, close to German Unification. So it's entirely possible that Prawema produced a number of these with hangers just before or after Unification (Wende).

Is there any way to tell Prawema from original issue medals and badges? :banger:

Hi cabbell2207

Sorry, but do you really think, that both top specialist for DDR orders and decorations, Frank Bartel and Klaus H.Feder write (and talk) nonsense?

Frank Bartel: see the text in Post 6.

Klaus H.Feder, Auszeichnungen der Nationalen Volksarmee der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik, 1st edition 1994:

"Die Abzeichen haben keine Befestigunsdr?hte [no connection wires/hangers] f?r Flugstundenanh?nger.

Diese wurden bei der Herstellung vergessen [forgotten] und sollten nachtr?glich angebracht werden.

Abzeichen mit Befestigungsdr?hten kamen nicht mehr zur Verleihung."

No awards with hangers .

With hangers it is a later production, post DDR/NVA.

Uwe

no you misunderstand me you are right i'm mearly saying i have not seen this.It has nothing to do with any author.

Hi,

in my opinion the Meister (M) pilot badge is not original, the original ones are without the hangers.

Please see the Bartel catalogue from 1998, No. 781 "Stufe M (Meister) ohne Haken auf der R?ckseite"

Regards

Uwe

i havent seen any eveidence that they were not worn with hangers, it seem it would only make sence to see how many flight hours they had also.

Nice job!!! I really like the mounted police medals!

Thanks paul.

Hi Gang,

Hi cabbell2207,

Deutscher Sch?tzenverband (D.Sch.V.) = German Shooting Association

Grosse Auszeichnung f?r Schiessleistung = large decoration for marksmanship

Different classes, often with a hanger or more for the year(s) of the award (see the two holes at the bottom).

Regards

UweThanks for the great info

Hello friends,

has anyone seen this shooting badge before? and what orginization is it from? I'm stumped :unsure:

Hello Gang,

I recently picked this party flag up at a local antique store, What's interesting is the swastica is stiched on the white circle wich in turn is stiched to the red flag. Now it gets interesting, the arms on the swastica are not even like on other flags i have seen. Has anyone seen this before? I did a burn test and that was o.k. sorry for the bad pics i have it folded in a display case because it's around 6 feet long and 3.5 wide. thanks all

Well, that was a pretty neat weblink. I never realized how extensive the bunker systems were.

Saw one of those concrete bunkers in the Dresden war museum years ago, they were used for air raids built late in the war.
