One of several medals purchased recently... The 'VATERLANDISCHEN VERDIENSTORDEN IN BRONZE' which was awarded to Oberfeldwebel a. D. Wladislawa Schnell on 25th June 1976. Personally signed by Willi Stoph rather than the usual 'rubber stamp' encountered on most documents. There must be a list somewhere of who was presented with these awards. This is the second variant of the award... the medal attachment to the clasp being different - see close -up of clasp. Click on images (twice) to enlarge.
Cheers,
Steve
