Document for the gold medal for finishing the military academy with excellence.

It was awarded to a east german officer with the name Udo Stefakowski.

He attend the Artillery Academy.

These two academy badges came with the document and the gold medal.

The one with the shield looks strange. Could this be a self made/home made badge?
The right one without shield is a late badge made out of german silver with one rivet.

and here is the strange academy badge in question

This is only conjecture, but it may have been an unregulation, locally manufactured academy badge.

I saw a similar white MVOKU rhombus with the MVOKU initials, but have never seen one since. I don't know how to explain it otherwise...:confused:
