My new 10-place 57er ribbon bar!!!

Here is the new display I've created for all of my 57er awards (it's still a very small collection). I'm hoping to add a few more pieces to this, to go with the ribbon bar (such as a General Assault badge and a Wound Badge in gold).

The EK2 is an early Steinhauer & Lück with a narrow ribbon (I got it this way, so I'm not going to mess with it).

The EK1 is a VERY early Wilhelm Deumer, with a pinback and catch exactly like the WWII version. Both are of 3-piece construction and magnetic. It was discussed here, with larger photos: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=316363
