I found an original GDR Pin. At the bottom there is a protractor with two wheat thingies.
On the back is written:
SOZIALISTISCH ARBEITEN LERNEN UND LEBEN
which translates to:
learn and live to work socialist
I think its very pretty even though.
I also got an old medal of the FDJ (the youth group of the DDR). It was not an official thing but just something to hand out at tournaments. So its plastic plated with actual copper, which is soo cool. I might post that at some point.
that’s so fucking cool! love to see all the unique communist memorabilia
