The very first model of the DDR border plaque ?

[Dallasfan]

Hello

I took this photo from the book '' 10 jahre grenztruppen '' from 1959 .
I have never seen this border plaque before , I thought the white plastic one was the first model .
This one has only the black/red/yellow flag in the middle .
Does anyone have this kind of plaque in his collection ?

I personnaly think this kind of border plaque never exist. I think they only retouched the picture to illustrate the book. I'm not backing my thought at 100%, but this is more a feeling I have. Anybody else has the same feeling? As you can see this was a black and white pictures that was coloured. That's what meake me thinks it was made up by the book in question.
