Bundesrepublik Some More 57 Awards

[DavidM]

Hello

These are the 57 awards that I have at present, although I have a couple more on the way and I'll post them as soon as I receive them.

From the top left they are a cased late manufactured RK with oak leaves, (the type with the bad paint job to the core, ie painted after the frames were soldered up), a cased early issue S&L RK, (complete with the die flaws), and cased DKiS. The bottom row, from the left are a blockade runner award, destroyer award and a DKiG.

Thanks very much for showing your 57,s Dave !

I especially like the blockade breaker it has nice detail and patina to it , looks like an early one on first impressions .

Very nice Dave. The Early 57 RK looks to be a brother of mine .. right down to the dies flaws and the "800" stamp on the frame
