Good way to display 1957 awards ?

[oradour]

Gentlemen, I picked up this rather nice private purchase "Oberstlieutnant" (Lieutenant Colonel) mid 1960's walking out/parade jacket, an adjutant of the General staff of Army Command North, it didnt cost much, and as I am running out of display space, I thought I use it to display some of my 1957 awards, looks good ! ...............what do think ? should I ... shouldnt I ? comments please.
Prost ! Steve.

hi , looks great , the awards were made to be worn . much better in my opinion than a static display in a case....paul

Gentlemen, thanks for your comments, unfortunatly I did not go through with this project, as I was offered (a short time after posting this thread) a rather nice private purchase "Tailored" tunic of a full colonel, so I sold the above tunic to a fellow collector/friend. I have started a "new" thread on the new tunic, thanks for your support ! Prost ! Steve.

And are you going to decorate the full colonel the same way?

Karsten....see here post #5 57er knights cross ....it is a modern production RK from St u L made in the 80's, the one most 57 collectors do not like, however I think it is rather nice and as you will see nicely put together, even when I obtain an earler 57 RK it will stay in my collection !
Prost ! Steve.
