I read somewhere but typically can't remember where that the Leistungsabzeichen der Grenztruppen der DDR with the loop attachement rather than a pin was awarded to collectives rather than individuals and was attached to a presentation mounting/case. Can any one provide more info?
I recently found one sewn onto a GT "gala" uniform jacket. It had apparently been "re-purposed" and an attempt to solder a pin to it had obviously faile judging by the scratches and solder residue before something like fuse wire had been wrapped around the loop and filled with solder. No idea why anybody would do that but I managed to remove the mess and it now looks pretty much as it should.
Regards
Mark
