It's nice to have the matching paper packet.

Yes indeed. Can anyone post some pics of wearing this single medal???
Regards.

I only recall ever seeing the ribbon in wear. A single medal in wear would be something to see.

Anyone got anything new for this venerable thread?

Paper packets?

My first German medal, purchased at a flea market when I was 9 or 10 back in the early 1970's. If I remember correctly the seller had a large jar full of them...

Here is one that has not been posted. This is an early 1957 version of the award made by S&L in the late 1950s. This version of the medal, manufactured without the swastika, could be worn by veterans or on the Bundeswehr uniform. The ribbon for the award remained the same as shown on the postwar ribbon bar.

Thanks for posting the 57 version. Appreciated.

Time passes quickly.

Does anyone have anything new for this venerable thread?
Some in-wear pictures?
Paper packets?
Period advertisements?

Hear is my in-wear picture.

This is probably a solider and his wife.

I believe the 3rd ribbon from the left is the Russian front ribbon.

The back of the picture is marked: "1944, NACH DER OPPERATION" or 1944, AFTER THE OPERATION.

The third ribbon does appear so. Appreciated. Nice picture.
