Thanks for the education Ingrid. This is my 500th post and I was saving it for something really good. You collection of 57er pieces is well deserving for using it

Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection.

Ingrid, nice early EK I by St u L ! I love its slightly salty look, and the contrasting frosting, great piece.
Prost ! Steve.

Thanks Steve.

According to the seller it belonged to a DKIG wearer, I'm trying to find out the name.

Ingrid, a beauty ! the earliest of St u L EK I's....and not that easy to acquire now, it seems interest is now gathering pace in the collecting 57er's (Hence the fakers/deceivers interest growing !). I have invested a chunk of my Imperial militaria money back into 57' awards, I now own not one but three RK's ! one 1980's late version and two "B" frame, "A" core very early versions, one marked, one not...I will post in a couple of days...
Prost ! Steve.
