    Hope that Iam right here, with my 1957 Bar and Questions

    Gents,
    I hope you had a nice few christmas days, I hope that Iam right here after post this in the wrong sub-forum.
    I got today a nice 1957 Medalbar wich I want to share with you:


    And here we have the first question, are any 1957 Bundeswehr Medalbars known with the Makers-Label of Friedrich Sedlatzek (WW2 bars are allready well known) ;


    I bought the bar with the second ribbon declared as DRK-Medal, and so my second and last question is it possible that the ribbon is original for a 1962 flood medal without device, I have one in my collection with a very dirty ribbon ;


    Regards
    Mick

    Hi Mick!
    Nice ribbonbar, and a nice collection too!!!
    Sedlatzek is well known as a retailer/ assembler of medalbars for postwar/ 57 period!!
    Here are a couple of examples from my own collection..............

      Note the way they de-Nazified original wartime awards, and the fact that they were quite prepared to use medals, like the westwall, which should not be worn, but if the vet wanted it, Sedlatzek did it!!!

        Hi Nigel,
        thank you for showing, a very nice bar.
        Interesting is that the Schutzwall-Ehrenzeichen was not allowed to wear as a 1957 Version, but mounted on your bar

        Kind regards

          the second ribbon on your new bar does look to me as though it could be a DRK medal judging by the colour???................

            S&L did produce a small number of prototype Westwall medal's in a 57 style version, they must have thought it would be part of the 57 series, but for whatever reason, it wasn't, and they sold them off to collectors!!!

              Very interesting story, I grow up nearly Luedenscheid, and a friends father worked at S&L and he ever gave us 57ers wich was not at the quality standarts but never seen a Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen in the 57-Version.
              By the way I can that I gave all my 57 Versions away.

                A shame you don't still have them
                S&L also produced prototype medal versions of the TDB and ADB, which could have been worn on medal bars, but again, these didn't get the go-ahead, and were also sold to collectors!
