DDR visor Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik

[Rik.S]

Goodafternoon guys,

Today I found a nice DDR visor in a thrift shop and I couldn't just leave it there. It is in very good condition and the size is 54. After looking at some threads on the forum I think it is a visor for the Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik. As you can see the wreath is missing.
I wonder if anyone knows where I can find the right wreath or emblem to make my visor complete?

Thank you.

Regards, Rik

After a search online I found and ordered a GST mützenabzeichen. I think it will arrive next week. I will put the abzeichen on my Schirmmütze and post the photo's here to show it to you. And then it can also be used for future reference.

Quicker than expected the GST mützenabzeichen arrived and I've put it on my schirmmütze. As promised I have some photo's of it.

Very nice cap!...

Yep, nice cap and worthy of inclusion in any DDR collection.

The GST was not actually a military formation/organisation as I am sure you know.

For anybody not sure about GST this link should give a clear picture;

Thank you Mark. And I was indeed aware the GST wasn't a military organisation, but a civilian mass organisation. But that visor was just to good to not take it home with me.
