I'm sure most have seen the DDR 20th Anniversary badge. Here, for your viewing enjoyment is a 20th Anniversary presentation medal; it is the only one I've seen and I consider myself lucky to own it. If anyone has any information about this award, please come forward. It has created somewhat of a stir on another forum to which I belong. By the way, the colour is a bit off here (electronic flash); the ribbon is actually a dark red, velour-type material. Thanks!
Well, I finally got some info on the medal. A German collector with a web page, Willy Cogge, also has an example of this medal and a direct line to author Frank Bartel. Apparently, this medal was given to high SED party members and is classified a "party honour". It can be found in the 1998/1999 Bartel's Catalog. This search wound up putting me directly in touch with Frank Bartel, and I now have a copy of the coveted 98/99 Catalog. Great luck!:D

Re: Medal In Memory Of The 20th Anniversary Of The German Democratic Republic.
It is highly likely this is part of a Bulgarian General's group. More information is being worked on.

Re: Medal In Memory Of The 20th Anniversary Of The German Democratic Republic.
I'm working on the group as a whole a fair bit (as well as a considerable number of other Bulgarian groups). Time takes time but we'll just have to wait and see what more information can be squeezed out.
I thought $25 was a fair enough price for this.

Re: Medal In Memory Of The 20th Anniversary Of The German Democratic Republic.
Here is another example, unfortunately uncased but the price was right.
