A very nice example of the fourth issue. These early medals have really good boxes too. The early DDR militaria is much underrated.

Well I hope to at least get a few more early ones before they become too desirable!

Very nice, like the presentation box too.

I have a medal in the very same style of box, the only difference is the colour of the inside lining... mine is grey.

Have you posted it on the forum? Would love to see it

I missed this when you posted it. That's a very nice example of the type.
The earlier DDR medals have the look of a "proper" medal and when compared to the later variants of the same thing they are a stark indicator of how the DDR became pressed for resources over time and the quality of just about everything declined until the collapse in 1990. I do wonder how much longer they could have kept it up had the hand of the government not been forced as it was?
