Arthur-Becker-Medaille, 1st variety, gold / Arthur Becker Medal, 1st variety, gold Certificate dated 19 April 1980, Haarcke and H?sken, #319.1.1.

Arthur-Becker-Medaille / Arthur Becker Medal Comrade Fehr was apparently also active in the Freien Deutsche Jugend (FDJ) and received the Arthur-Becker-Medaille, 1st variety, in all three classes, gold, silver, and bronze. The bronze medal has lost its "medal" and is only the suspension pin. The evil temptation to "restore" this is great, but I am good. The certificate for the bronze medal is also missing.

Aktivist des Siebenjahreplans [1968] / Activist of the Seven-Year Plan [1968] And the final Seven-Year Plan badge is an undated badge, but with a certificate dated 7 October 1969, Bartel #78.

Aktivist des Siebenjahreplans 1966 / Activist of the Seven-Year Plan, 1966 As before, certificate only. Undated certificate, Bartel #78/66.

Aktivist des Siebenjahreplans 1965 / Activist of the Seven-Year Plan, 1965 As these badges all look pretty much the same, I don't see any (good) reason to post them all, as they are shown in the group photo above. I'll just show the certificates. Certificate dated 1 May 1965, Bartel #78/65.

Thanks, Paul, Unfortunately, I have no photos or anything else. The only clues I have is the place shown on his Seven-Year Plan urkunde: 1961: Zwickau - 1965. 1969: Eisenach. More to come . . . . Ed

The certificate.

Aktivist des Siebenjahreplans 1961 / Activist of the Seven-Year Plan, 1961 Certificate dated 6 October 1961, Bartel #78/61. The gilt on the badge (perhaps like the achievements of the Seven-Year Plan) does not show up too well.

The certificate.

Most bizarre posting after update. Have had the same problem elsewhere. Hope all posts in interim do not vanish when this is fixed. Ed

I really wish I knew more, David. All I have are the medals and the certificates. Will post details, for the interest of the multitudes. Ed ============================================= Held der Arbeit / Hero of Work Awarded 7 October 1984, Bartel #53i. And his Held der Arbeit certificate. MOST BIZARRE - replies seem to be appending - shall put posts on hold for the time being.

Nice stuff, keep it up. Almost (almost) makes me sorry I gave up uniforms due to storage space (= wife) problems. Hope your posts survive the server upgrade. Ed

We are sort of mixing up here: Gulf War I - Iran vs. Iraq Gulf War II - U.S. and allies vs. Iraq Gulf War III - U.S. and allies vs. Iraq Will try to sort things out. I had begun getting a set of web pages together on the Gulf Wars (as I have some on the 1st-5th Afghan Wars), but when I found how freely m,y information was being stolen (and published) by others, I dropped the website idea. May put some of it up here, among friends, post-upgrade.

Order of the Red Banner of Labor, screw back, 1945 type #484 - no documentation - research anyone?? Ha ha ha ha. Pretty anyway.

It seems so . . . grrrr. Technology is evil. The landlord might know more.

Yes, Dave, again, please. Grovel . . . . Ed

Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic Order of the Red Banner of Labor, type 2 #301 - no document But, according to Kutsenko, awarded to I. Kh. Altynbaev, Chief of Police Criminal Investigations Department. One of only TWO individuals to receive the order twice. 1- #139 October 1929 2- #301 November 1931 (he was the first to get it twice)

Yeah, I got the two in 1998 for $70 (US). That'd buy about half a certificate (or less) these days)? I feel old -- but happy -- but old. Ed
