Imperial German Navy and 1957

[CSForrester]

Hello from Germany to all members,
and first i have to beg for pardon for my cruel english. I have watched it with interest for some month, and now i will try to give you a short overview on my collection. Collecting since mid 1970 years, i have choosen two themes for my central-collection since ten years:
1. Imperial German Navy, insigna, personal documents, awards...........
2. Decorations of the former German Reich in the issue following the law of 1957.
Here some pictures of my collection.
Kind regards
Markus

Wow! That is certainly a collection to be proud of!
I really enjoyed browsing over your collection. Thank you for sharing.

Perhaps you can follow up with some close ups of your individual ribbon bar sets. I would be interested in seeing more.

Thanks,

Joe

Great collection and very nicely displayed. The miniature medalbar
in post #4 is a fantastic piece. The 2 larger frack chains in post
#2 are very nice as well.

Well done.
