Gordon Craig Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Christer,Here are some pictures of the vase I believe Uwe is talking about. These are pictures from Klaus H. Feder and Uta "Feder's book Auszeichnungen der Nationalen Volkesarmee der DDR". I have seen one of these vases for sale since I have ben collecting DDR items. It was slightly different than this one and the woman who owned it would not sell it outside of Germany so I could not add it to my collection.

Gordon Craig Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Uwe,I was under the impression that this type of ehregeschenk was only awarded to women. True?Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi Gordon,sorry, I don't know it. I have served on the other side, in the Bundeswehr .But I cannot find a hint in my sources, that it is only for women.Feder/Feder and Bartel say, that there were two different versions of the vase, the one in post 5 and a cylindrical one.From 1975 - 1981 the NVA presented another "Ehrengeschenk" for civilians:This is the second version with ...ARBEITER-UND-BAUERN - MACHT (1977-1981) on the seal.The first version was with ...ARBEITER UND BAUERN-MACHT (1975-1976).RegardsUwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
