Shooting badges of the combat groups

Shooting badges of the combat groups (gold, silver I, bronze II)

The shooting badge of the combat groups was an award of the combat groups of the working class of the German Democratic Republic , which was donated in three stages. The bronze , silver-plated or gold-plated shooting badge is almost round and shows, within two crossed laurel branches, in the middle left a target with a black center and to the right of it a rifle pointing upwards to the left with a waving red workers flag in front of the outlines of a factory. The tip of the rifle and the upper edge of the flag extend beyond the laurel wreath. The back is smooth and shows a horizontally soldered needle with a counter hook.
