Hi guys,

Is this a '57 ribbon bar?

I think it is Giel.

Hello

I would say so, yes, especially judging from the style of bar to the iron cross that is on it.

Thanks guys! This is the complete picture. Looks like this old man was very proud of his uniform, he even left the eagle with swastika on it!

Neat photo. The memory of the vet was failing a bit - the placement of his Turkish Half-Moon star and his Baltic Cross should be reversed to the opposite pockets. What is the item just below the lower arm of his Iron Cross 1st class?

Correct you are Scott!

First I thought it was a wing of a ek1 clasp, but I wouldn't know for sure though...

Ha! I think you're right - looks his EKI and EKI clasp are in reverse positions.
