What a shot. That's a very sensible way to mount ribbons. Looks like you can upgrade the bar without having to have everything remounted/ moved along and reconstructed.

Scott, it is indeed the "Sandfarben" uniform, worn from 1959 to 1970 by Officers and NCO's mit portepee.....and then after 1970 by all ranks. It may be worn from 1st April to 31st September each year by men serving (Training) in the following areas.........USA, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Southern France. It was worn by all branches of the Bundeswehr.
Prost ! Steve.

Thanks Steve

This a very interesting set of photos, regarding the funeral of Generalleutnant Hyazinth Graf Strachwitz von Groß-Zauche und Camminetz, a Diamonds winner.

I can't tell if that RK on the pillow is his '57 edition or wartime..
