Hi Rudy,

Five more excellent groups!! It is nice to see several additional groups based upon the smaller (non regulation) TR style ribbons. The clasp devices certainly cover a lot of "space" on the ribbon bars of this size. The RKT provenance grouping......INCREDIBLE...

@All: In a little over a week I think you would agree we have seen some amazing ribbon bar groups!

Hopefully, this thread still has more "legs" and additional groupings will be posted!

Best,

Jeff

Rudy the Mahlke group is outstanding! One of my favourites seen here to date.

Did you add the medals to that FJ ribbon bar group? The name is known by the way.

Best regards

Hi All,

For this weekend, I am showing a 57er Heer Infantry Ribbon Bar grouping. Nothing too special, however a nice little group representing service on the Ost Front during the Winterschlacht of '41-'42. The medal ribbons are all TR era (no glow) and that presented with the EKII is of the lesser found (orange-red) type. The badges have solid hinge blocks. The Ost medal is interesting to me as it has a "golden" tone, while most are silver.

Best,

Jeff

Hi Rudy,

I am referring to this ribbon bar and group. I assume the medals have been added later.

Hi Pierce,

That's correct. I just put together my medals I had for this bar. I only got the ribbon bar from Mike I believe.

What is the name?

Rudy

I have the afternoon off and thought I would continue this fun thread.

Next up is my pride and joy - Mahlke group. If only I can find the rest of his 57 items. This did not come with the RK. I added that and I heard from other collectors that he had a Schickle RK which I was able to include. Another problem is a gold long range day fighter clasp came with the group but the ribbon bar indicates a gold air to ground support clasp. I don't have a gold air to ground support clasp so I will just show what came with the group.

Beautiful set ! Tom

Yes, but it does look really well Rudy!

By the way, the name is Oberst Bernhardt Muller! This bar was with me before I sold it on to Mike a few years back. I am glad to see it remains within the community.

Thanks Pierce. The ribbon bar is in good hands. Thanks for the name. I'm sure this is the ribbon bar Mike was going to give me the name on but he never did.

Rudy

Gentlemen, I hope this O.K. posting here, there is a 57er connection ..........
A Bundeswehr ribbon bar and full sized awards, BW Ehrenzeichen (Honour Cross) in Gold (20 years service), Silver (10 years service), DSB sports badge in Gold and DLRG life saving award in Silver............notice the Silver honour cross is two piece Deumer made cross, around 1980 production, Deumer qaulity even at this late stage ! The Gold is later St u L piece, as are both other awards, but they hark from before 1968, the 57er connection......notice the rear hardware, closed hinge assemblies and tapered pins.
Prost ! Steve.

[Steve 5]

The rear hardware on the DSB & DLRG badges, both St u L..............
Prost ! Steve.
