Police Auxiliary Group

[Greg Collins]

Not really an award group, but I didn't know where else to put it. Anyway, a grouping of "Helfer der Volkspolizei" items for an individual I chose not to identify as he is only five years my senior and may well still be alive. The "star" of the gathering is his intact I.D.- most were destroyed and it is quite rare to see a complete example. It was issued in 1979. The table medal for 25 years of Helfer der Volkspolizei was given from 1978. The armband is a Bartels 72a and the badge is a Bartels 73.

Greg - very nice "grouping". :-)

When you have time, could you post a close up of the ink stamps.

Thanks

Sure, Ralph... first, an image of the inside and outside of the doc. Next, the stamp over the photo and, third, the three stamps on the right hand side of the doc.

Greg - thanks for your follow up post with the photos. I was interested in seeing if the stamps were VP associated and from which district. Thanks again for posting the grouping, it is interesting to see the Police Auxiliary ID since I only own VP IDs. So it nice to see yours.

Thanks, Ralph. The "Helfer" I.D. is the only police I.D. that I own (so far). Don't suppose you'd consider treating us with a peek at your Vopo I.D.'s? I'd like to get a look at them.

Greg - Thanks for asking, what I will do is start new thread since they are VOPO related.

Also good hunting for other IDs. :-)
