DDR East German border plaque

[Bryan]

One of my pride in my DDR collection.

East German plaque that was taken near the city of Neustadt bei Coburg in 1984 at the border between Bavaria and Thuringia. That's what the seller told me.

Hi Soviet,

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. That's a great piece and yes, it does seem totally authentic. Here's the post on my copy which includes pics of an original. You'll see the same attachment points on the back as you have on yours.

You'll also see some examples I posted on how they were originally mounted on the border poles, etc.

Definitely a great piece. Wish mine was an original but for what I paid I don't think you could get an original unless you got extremely lucky. Definitely a great centerpiece to any DDR collection. And the Soviets had similar plaques on their border posts.

Thanks for sharing your's. Always love seeing more examples.

Thank you Dan! I still need a Soviet one for my collection!
