Forgive me for not having a clue what this is. I am going to start a DDR collection and this is my very first piece.
Thanks for looking!

One of the many millions of Activist of socialist work pins, there are a few different variations with enamel thickness and color, a good start to any DDR collection.

Thanks for the information Gunny and Morris! For a couple of dollars I couldn't pass it up! There was another medal I didn't get and hopefully it is still available when I see the man again. It was the Ernst Schnell medal and ribbon. Not sure the significance of it but I put it down in favor of another item.

Ernst Schneller medals were an award of the GST, a Sports and Technology association for young people. A search of East German GST will explain the organization better then I.
