DDR Treuedienstmedaille to Erika Schmidt

[HARRY THE MOLE]

Another set of medals awarded to Erika Schmidt, the time the Treuedienstmedaille in bronze, silver, and gold. Schmidt received her 10 year award in 1964, and her gold award in 1985. Examination of the medals shows how much the quality of these awards had declined by the time she received her final award. The bronze and silver medals are in fairly decent boxes, and both come with an interim spange. But by 1985 the award looked cheap and nasty... and there was no interim spange. more to follow later in the week. Click on images to enlarge.

First the Urkunde...
