Academy Graduation Badges

[Taz]

I am new to this forum and I am trying to find out information on the Volkspolizie Academy Badges. For example, what was the difference in the civilian highschool, Arthur Becker, and Karl Liebknecht and when were they active? There is very limited information elsewhere. Anyone’s help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello shortusaf, and welcome. :)

Yes very little info on the VOPO acadamies to be found right now. I'll research around to see what I can find as time allows.

Best regards Eddie.

One is a bone white/ivory color, the other a light grey.

They measure 44mm by 29mm. The screwplate is tiny: 9mm

Quality is typical ie low. Light metal and probably painted "enamel" with a clearcoat over the whole obverse.

Your badges are East German Police Academy badges. I believe there is a third one with a dark green center as well. Unsure of order of precedence however.

Graduation badge OHS "Karl Liebknecht", Stralsund (Navy)

This graduation badge was designed by Fregattenkapitän Hans Beyer and a few examples were made but the OHS never got the authorisation to issue them.

Does anyone have a example to show of the OHS "Rosa Luxemburg", Suhl Border Guards badge?

Very specific request. Sorry, I don't collect GDR, but I am still looking for a good Stasi badge.:)

Hi Tom,
If you mean a graduation badge specificly for the OHS "Rosa Luxemburg", I'm not aware that there is one.

Regards Eddie.

[Tom R.]

Yes, that is what I was hoping for. So aside from the 3 police academy and 2 stazi badges, would there be any graduation badges for the Border Guards?

[Taz]

Nope Tom, just the ones in the previous posts.
If you take a look through from the start of this thread, it includes just about all GDR graduation badges that were issued.

Regards Eddie
