Genuine GST, great conditionCollect East German awards and this was missing from my GST section. Medal arrived in excellent condition bronze finish intact, no major scratches, ribbon is original and unfaded. The GST emblem is crisp, the "Ausbilder" designation is clearly struck. The reverse has the typical GST maker mark, consistent with period production. Ribbon is the correct orange and black pattern for instructor level. Mine came in a simple plastic sleeve, no presentation case, which is fine for the price. For $5 it's a fair price for a genuine piece of GDR history. The GST is fascinating basically a paramilitary boy scouts for adults that taught shooting, flying, driving, all the skills the NVA would need later. This medal represents someone who trained others to those standards.

Medal is a must have!This GST Silver Ausbilder Medal is an extraordinary piece of Cold War history! As a former East German military award its authenticity and craftsmanship are exceptional. The medal’s connection to the National People’s Army and the GST’s mission to train youth in marksmanship technical skills and military readiness adds profound historical depth. For collectors of GDR-era artifacts or military memorabilia, this medal is a must-have! its intricate design and role in Eastern Bloc history make it far more than a decorative piece.
A rare artifact tied to East Germany’s educational military programs during the Cold War.
