57' awards on civilian clothing.

[oradour]

Gents...please post your photographs of veterans wearing 1957 awards on civilian clothing, be it every day wear, dinner suits or traditional garbe, (no military uniforms, there is already a thread depicting such wear). I will start the ball rolling with a studio portrait of an elderly gent in traditional costume (looks to be some sort of hunting/shooting association jacket)...he has a nice selection of awards, his name is unkown
Prost ! Steve.

Harry, absolutely ! he has just turned his WW2 issue Ost medal over as not to show the swastika ! this was done on many a medal bar by vets, after the ban on the swastika.....Paul, great photo of Herr Ahrens !
Prost ! Steve.
