Hi Harti, The streamer is in a box in the garage. I will go and have a dig and get back to you. Thank you once again for the brilliant photos and references!!!!!
Cheers Michael

PS Ary you a collector or just very knowledgeable?????????????

[harti]

I'm a collector of third reich militaria...but I was a Bundeswehr-soldier in a NATO headquarter for 12 years...so I guess I'm also a little bit knowledgeable

In the meantime I found one more picture from the town of Hameln in germany





The next picture is a foto of a Fahnenband certificate awarded in 1994



translation:
In the spirit of the common task and in recognition of the services rendered in Germany in the cause of peace and freedom
13th Signal Regiment (Radio)
has been awarded the
Fahnenband of the Federal Republic of Germany

Signed
The Federal Minister of Defence
Bonn 2 July 1994





This is the official award regulation...

The Bundesprasident of the Federal Republik of Germany has agreed, to the proposal of the Federal Minister of Defence to present allied units of battalion or equivalent size upwards who leave the Federal Republik of Germany after five years or more service with a "Fahnenband" in recognition of their services.
The front of the "Fahnenbander"is inscribed from bottom to top with the following text:
Einsatz Fur Frieden und Freiheit.
Whilst the reverse has:
Bundesrepublik Deutschland [Year of awarding]

Cheers Michael

Hi Harti, I did not realise that these steamers were both national (German) and international. Having awarded them to Army units, it seems a bit strange that AF/N units were excluded? I have two of them and was hoping that RAF units received them so I could have added one to my RAF collection. Aw well never mind. I wrote to the Bundeswehr in the Bendler Building a few weeks ago re beret badges and received a very informative response from a Hauptman. What TR gear are you interested in?
Cheers Michael

[harti]

Hi Michael, I'm not sure if AF/N units were excluded...and I guess my list is not complete. There is no Fahnenband awarded in 1992...and your Band has the 1992 on it. So there must be a ceremony in this year

The main thing I'm collecting are flags...
