My Collection...

[Peter Wiking]

Hi dear collectors. I have found it necessary to sell my entire collection of decorations of the 1957 design. It is a large collection of good high quality pieces from the 1957 to 1960 era. I will start photographing individual items and post them here in the sales forum if there is any interest. I rather do that than go through ebay if I can help it.

Duo to health and mostly time issues I will not be able to finish my book on the 1957 awards. Many of you great fellow collectors went far to help me, sending me a stream of awards to photograph and supporting me in every way. It was a great time and I thank you for your help and trust.

Hi Peter!!
Sorry to hear this!!
When I first started collecting 57ers, you were "the man" !!!
Back then 57ers weren't particularly well thought of among wartime collectors, but I think now, they are much better understood and appreciated, and you started it all.....so thank you on behalf of all 57 collectors for that!!!!
I am sure there will be much interest in your E-stand sales!!!!!
All the best for the future Peter!!!

Nigel... I tried to send you a PM/Message. I can see what other people discuss with you. Is this a glitch?

Hi Peter!
Visitor messages don't seem to work too well for me, a private message would be better!!

Thanks all. I will post for sale tomorrow a cased Knights Cross in the 57 sales forum. Just keep an eye out there. There will be plenty for all in the weeks that follow. Good night from Norway.

Hi Peter,

Regret to read above ... think we all consider you as "The Godfather" of the 1957 forum. Hope you stay well.

Hi Peter, I remember sending you a bunch of scans for the book, which you can no longer publish it sounds like. I hope things get better for you.
