Please forgive a newbie question but, when I am visiting web sites in search of information or images of miniaturkettchen, I am seeing many references to 1957 with respect to miniatures which appear to date from WW 1. For example, here, http://www.militaria...ausfuhrung.html Can anyone enlighten me as to the significance of the year 1957? Did the regulations for wearing such miniature chains change in that year? As may be obvious already, I don't speak or read German so I am largely relying on Google Translate in my research endeavours I am thus very grateful for any help German speakers may be able to give me.

With the very small consolation, however, that it is documented in its complete condition here. Otherwise, I agree with all the bad things everyone else wishes upon this vandal - even if it is Lent :)

Michael This is proving to be a fascinating thread. I particularly liked the pen portraits of the officers. It was noticeable that some took a drop in rank to be part of what must have seemed like the start of a great adventure. Thank you for taking the trouble to make these posts. I, for one, am greatly looking forward to the subsequent ones.
