Greetings and a lot of question about ribbon

[AntonioJ]

Hello all !!
First of all i want give thanks for this forum and for the posible post for my questions.
I have this ribbon bar and appears like a WWII ribbon bar for EK II and log services, but the color isn´t like another long services ribbon bar i have.
Im learn about 57´s ribbon and when i bought it i read 57´s.

- Isn´t a WWII era ribbon?
- Is post WW II?
- Why the 57´s name?
- It´s for Republic Democratic of Germany?
- If isn´t a WW II era ribbon why have WB in "silver" and a Panzer II?
- The second "long service" ribbon has a wings with a grenade and a bayonet. What does it mean?
- What´s your expertise opinion about this ribbon?

Sorry for my english and for so much question.
My english its so poorly, please don´t use "rare" words.

Receive all a strong hug from Spain and thanks again.

Here are answers to your questions as best I can.

First off, the blue ribbons are not Long Service ribbons, but were used as a way to wear your badges on a ribbon bar.

- Isn´t a WWII era ribbon? - No

- Is post WW II? - Yes

- Why the 57´s name? - Because in 1957 the wear of "de-nazified" WW2 awards was authorized.

- It´s for Republic Democratic of Germany? - West Germany

- If isn´t a WW II era ribbon why have WB in "silver" and a Panzer II? - See Above

- The second "long service" ribbon has a wings with a grenade and a bayonet. What does it mean? - This is for a Close Combat Clasp

- What´s your expertise opinion about this ribbon - Looks like a fine '57 example to a brave Panzer Grenadier

Hope this helps.

Hello Thanks a lot for explanes.

Oky, its a 57´s West Germany ribbon bar for a brave panzer grenadier.

Fought the owner of this ribbon in WW II and he was awarded with EK II and the three another simbols and until 1957 he can´t dress it?

Its this ribbon for a old WW II soldier? or it´s a post recompense?

Sorry for question but i want learn.

Thanks again for the faster answer
