Great little items Andreas ! I have a small collection of these myself..........I am looking for a full size 57er "Rettungsmedaille" (Lifesaving Medal) for my collection, so great to see a button hole version !
the quality on these and detail is astounding for something so small !!
Thanks for showing
Prost ! Steve.

Nice minis Andreas! It's the first time I see a Lifesaving mini, probably equally as hard to find as the full size?
Best regards

I just noticed a little goof on my part. In the reverse shot of the mini medal bar, the 12 year medal was turned around, showing the obverse side. Here is how it should have looked:
As an afterthought, and while I was at it, I decided to take new photographs of the few other 1957 miniatures in my collection and add those to this thread as well for the sake of completeness and convenience.
(These items have been shown before, at 1957-ers: Stickpin for a WW1/WW2 veteran and KVK1 mit Schwertern and 57er Deutsches Kreuz in Gold grouping , respectively.)
Spanning the period from Imperial Germany/World War I via the Third Reich/World War II-era and on to the Federal Republic of Germany/the Cold War years, here is a four-piece civilian stickpin for a long-serving armed forces member and WWI veteran.
The decorations are the 1914/18 Ehrenkreuz für Kriegsteilnehmer [Honor Cross for Participants in the War], the Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse ohne Schwerter [War Merit Cross withouth Swords] and, once agein, the 12- and 4-year Dienstauszeichnungen [Long Service Awards].
It is interesting to note that this order of precedence is correct as per the regulations of the 1957 Ordensgesetz, whereas the KVK would have been worn before the 1914-18 Ehrenkreuz as per the regulations of the Third Reich era.

Another four piece miniature stickpin with the 1939 Eisernes Kreuz I. Klasse [Iron Cross 1st Class] and II. Klasse [2nd Class], the Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber [Wound Badge in Silver] and the Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen [General Assault Badge] and individual stickpins for the EKI/EKII combination and the two badges.

Any possible future purchases of 1957 miniatures will be added to this thread as well.

These little blighter's are often over looked here on the forum, I have a small collection, I have never even thought to post here, maybe I should !
...By all means!

Nice addition.
I envy you living in a era where they are more readily
available. Here in the US, these little pins can get expensive.
