      Has to be a scarce charm, at lest, if original. Hard to tell in the photo but the details appear rather soft

      Here're a few more examples, photo came off Wikipedia

        There are not too many options considering the dates:

        VfB Stuttgart (for the German football championship 1950)
        Germany national football team (World Champion 1954)

        According to Wikipedia these are the two possible options for team members of the above.

        Does anybody know whether one of these teams' members were awarded with RK with Oak Leaves?

        I doubt that.

          57er Ribbon Bar KM RKT

          Time to revive an oldie but a goodie thread................

          The 57er ribbon bar of Kapitan zur See Hermann Knuth. He was awarded the RK on September 24, 1944 for operations in the Schelde area of the Western Front. Units under his command successfully enabled the crossing of the German 15th Army with minimal losses.

          As can be see in the photo, he did own full size 57er editions of his awards. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of the location of his full size 57er awards. I decided to take an image with his 57er ribbon bar, and full size awards from my collection. The full size 57er awards are a mixture of Deumer and S&L produced, and the sharp collector will be able to pick the maker. I hope you enjoy the image, and I am not presenting this as a "group".

          Best,

                  I like the picture Jeff. Don't see much with the medal bar in place.

                  Thanks for showing and as always appreciate the great display.

                  Regards,

                    Hi Rudy,

                    Thank you for the nice comment!

                    I sure wish the photo had been straight on, and the details of the medal bar much clearer. I wonder where this bar, and the full size 57er awards ended up? Hopefully, still with the family.

                    Best,

                    Jeff
