Great photo my Friend ! So few photos of the 57er RKKvK !!!!! Tom

Yes, excellent photo Sepp.

We can see that he does not use the correct ribbon for the KVK.

Kind regards,

Eyesight not totally gone yet. The thickest part of the ribbon, the middle stripe, is red in the photo, whereas the KVK ribbon has a black stripe in the middle.

Kind regards
