New 1957er ribbon bar

[HPL2008]

Here is a recently acquired 1957er ribbon bar.

Mounted in the wartime style, it has the EK I, EK II, Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz, Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen and the Ostmedaille.

As always, comments are welcome.

Great bar Andreas !
Although not regulation in style for wear by a member of the BW, I have seen this WW2 style 57er bar being worn on both Police and Fireman tunics...................much rarer than the standard 57er sized ribbon bar IMO !
Prost ! Steve.

A great little bar indeed. It seems like you'll need a BWB and Ostmedal next if you wanna take a group shot.

Getting there... Here is the newly-acuired Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz for now. It's an early one with closed hingeblock and signs of wear and age:

Well, I now found myself an Ostmedaille that I liked. (The medal is shown in more detail on this separate thread: New 1957er Ostmedaille.)

So here is the familiy picture of the ribbon bar with its corresponding full-size badges and decorations:
