This is the fourth variation of the badges that would have been manufactured from 1956-1965.

This version consists of a high oval oak leaf wreath with the inscription, "BEREIT ZUR ARBEIT UND ZUR VERTEIDIGUNG DER HEIMAT (READY FOR WORK AND FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE HOMELAND". In the middle of the wreath are the intertwined letters "DDR". Underneath, on a curved lettering reads, "SPORTABZEICHEN" (SPORTS BADGE).
