Looking For This Stasi Badge

[cwl]

Does anyone know where I might could get one? Found a website in Germany, but haven't heard back from the guy yet.

Occasionally they pop up on ebay, I almost bought one a few months back unfortunately I didnt.

One guy to check in with occasionally for cool stuff is Stephan's Militaria in Germany I have several pieces in my collection from him.

THANK YOU ehrentitle, VERY MUCH. That thread is very informative and I have saved the images for future reference!

No problem, Ralph's book Stasi Decorations and Memorabilia; A Collector's Guide has a chapter devoted to these badges and their presentation documents.
