My Bundeswehr and 57er awards collection

[Nick Hessens]

Finally found a Deumer ISA bronze grade, condition is excellent. Still looking for the S&L version, the search continues.

Comments welcome!

Comments welcome.

Nick, both your Deumer IAB in Bronze and early St u L CCC are super finds and rare !
I am sure you will find a Bronze St u L IAB, they to are rare but out there !
Prost ! Steve.

All the way from Austria came this beautiful worn hollow wound badge in silver. It seems Deumer used the BWB dies to make this one and gave it their typical early hinge block, pin and EK1 catch.

Comments welcome!

A great variant Nick, a Deumer BWB Silvered ! just goes to show not all makers are perfect, not even Deumer, as St u L are known do, sometimes the odd "wrong" part is used or an award is finished differently due to either parts being scarce or just a Friday afternoon piece !
Even though its a Black die stamp that has been used the Deumer quality is still there, nice rear hardware
A great variant that I would love to have in my WB collection !
Prost ! Steve.

Hi friends,
Got this new cross in yesterday. After losing out on a Schickle RK (), I spotted a large "konvolut" from a house clearance on ebay Germany. Crappy pics as usual, but I took my chances and it turned out to be a bargain!

Enjoy the photos, comments welcome....

Unmarked St&L first pattern "B"- frame:





Fully drilled out loop eye (poorly finished) with unusual long loop:



Heavily flawed frame:



Dent row obverse/reverse:



Came together with a very long ribbon. Last photo shows my spare case finally filled.

Very nice indeed Nick.....Cheers Terry.

Prost ! Steve.
