Interesting to compare the two DKiS.....
The first, still has an enamel ring, which I think always looks so much better than the painted type, just shows that bit more quality!
For later pieces both are still attractive, and if you can find earlier versions too, that will make for a great "through the ages" display, showing the changes this piece has undergone through its many years of production!!!

I also just got myself a stickpin miniature of the '57er DKiS.

This piece is interesting for having a manufacturer's error: The pin was attached in an incorrect orientation so that the award is tilted 45 degrees to the right. Due to the tiny size of the miniature, this is really not noticeable with the naked eye (well, at least not with my eyes.

)

Obverse, reverse and a scale reference shot together with its DKiG cousin:
