More . . .

From St. James' Church in Delhi . . .

And the next page.

I can post more as needed, the book is still out.

Thoughts? Help??

I haven't been able to get my colleague in Russian history to crack the name for me. Help?!?

And while the book is not in good shape, it is!!

(The forum is playing games with allowed sizes, so these will get smaller and smaller, it seems! Sorry.)

Photo gone, alas.

But, . . . .

With document!

Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic

Order of the Red Banner of Labor

Number 233. Anvil broken.

Kutsenko is no help.

I am told a lot of these DDR uniforms are being "assembled", same for ribbon bars, in other words "FAKED".

Arthur-Becker-Medaille, 1st variety, silber / Arthur Becker Medal, 1st variety, silver

Certificate dated 7 March 1969, Haarcke and H?sken, #319.1.1.

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.

This is the First East German Hero Grouping I have ever seen! Are there any photos of the gentleman?

Best regards

Paul

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 . . . .

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.

Verdienstmedaille der Zivilverteidigung, gold

I am a bit sketchy as to what is an elegant and accurate translation of teh name of this one into English. Help?

Certificate dated 19 April 1980, Bartel #230a.

The certificate.

Verdeinter Aktivist / Honored Activist

Certificate dated 28 June 1976, Bartel #54f.

The certificate.

Verdienter Techniker des Volkes / Honored Technician of the People

Certificate dated 7 October 1972, Bartel #61d.
