Hauptmann Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Now for a closeup of the one I'd original posted... actually it's not wear but you can see where the barrel catch originally was. I've seen these types of catches on U.S. awards when they've come off over time and wear and this is what this looks like to me. But of course I'm open to other opinions: But just to be safe the center example with the barrel catch is now the one with the urkunde. The other has been placed in with other display items with my cased Makarov. The third example (on the right in the above photos) came cased as part of a set and is back in it's case safe and sound.Anyhow hope this help and am very intro'd to learn which is which and if the center one is indeed the proper one... and if perhaps you agree re: the missing barrel catch on the first one I'd posted and that perhaps it is the correct on after all.Keeping my fingers crossed that at least one of them is correct. Many thanks! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi Dan,you have to look for some more details, not only the pin.For example:1 without the national coat of arms, reverse numbered2 with the national coat of arms3 with the national coat of arms, a small ring added4 unhyphenated5 hyphenatedThe medal in the center (post 149/150) is matching to your document from 1962.Look at your book: "Klaus H. Feder, Uta Feder, Auszeichnungen der Nationalen Volksarmee", page 91 - 94.RegardsUwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi Uwe,Many thanks for all the info. To be honest I didn't jump in and cross check it in the book... guess I was just too excited to pair them up. But now that I've switched those two out I've got it right and we're back on track.Many thanks!!!! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauptmann Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Hi all,Here's one of my latest... the Medal for Merit in Peoples Control in Gold (Medaille f?r Verdienste in der Volkskontrolle der DDR):With luck I'll be able to finish the set some day. Here's a couple of better pics I found on the web including the reverse:Also, seems there's an earlier type:Dan Edited April 25, 2008 by Hauptman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Here's another addition... a cased Reservists medal in bronze. No biggie... except instead of being in the usual plastic case it's in one of the older style presentation cases. I don't remember seeing them in these. Does anyone know more about this. Also did they put each grade in the same type of case or is each case a different color?I also just added another full set of these Reservist medals in bronze, silver and gold. Plus I have another bronze coming so I've no got at least three full sets plus this extra cased bronze. Funny thing is I never really thought much of these until I saw one in person. Guess I got hooked as just like my OGPW's they're breeding. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Dan,Nice find with the early case. I don't know for sure, but I doubt that they would have made different coloured cases for medals of this calibre. High order medals yes but probably not these.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
