Based on the "Naval War College Review, Autumn 2017 Volume 70, Number 4" with a picture of the award ceremony for Ruge as cover and an added text it was: February 21, 1961
That is for me the most trustful source.

Philip, there are many organizations with unbelieveable many decorations, that you can find so many different cases.
The very early cases had seldom plastic (Plaste), the late cases are nearly all in plastic.
As examples an early NVA medal for faithful service from 1959 (wooden) and an early MdI medal of merit (cardboard > Pappe).

1: It could be a different interpretation of the official (Marine) summer time (1. Mai - 30.September) > white hat.
Or the three men did not find their white cap covers.
2: It is new for me, that Graf Luckner disliked the Nazis. He arranged himself for expedient reasons.

chrisnico2022 is well known, and you must read his "Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen für dieses Angebot":
(5) Alle Artikel werden von mir grundsätzlich als Sammler- bzw. Museumsanfertigungen verkauft, da es mir nicht möglich ist das Alter bzw. die Echtheit zu garantieren. Ich bin lediglich Händler und kein vereidigter Gutachter.
(5) All items are sold by me in principle as collectors or museum productions, because it is not possible for me to guarantee the age or authenticity. I am only a dealer and not a sworn appraiser.
And here at the PlM is also important: "Vermutlich zwischen 1919 - 1930 gefertigt." > Probably made between 1919 - 1930, Probably made ... !

Hallo Hendrik,
the basic question is, when the change from one language, French, to the two languages, French and Flemish, occurred.
The first medals were only in french, the current ones are in French and Flemish.
And yes, unofficial medals exist in modern times only in French and only in Flemish (it could be that the images of the medals are not to scale), left the one from 1864:

Schlaraffia is an international society.
Yes, I think, that it is from an Austrian Schlaraffia Reych, but I could not find it.

Hi,
Steinhauer & Lück wrote in the early 40s: "Die von uns gelieferten Nachbildungen..."
It can be translated with e.g. copy, replica, reproduction, duplicate etc.
You can take it for both, 1940 and 1960.
"So, after WW2 there wasn't an official Order to produce replacement Awards for vets?"
No, there was no official order, never!

Copy, reproduction, replacement, fake, or what ever you want (but not original or 57er)

Hi Tupper,
"a medal bar wir 57er ww1 Decorations"
VtwinVince and Megan have already described it.
With the law from 1957 it was allowed to wear German and foreign decorations. Several civilian and military decorations from the Third Reich period could be worn too.
Official specified decorations of this period could be worn only in a denazified form, without national socialist emblems (ohne nationalsozialistische Embleme), in a changed design (in geänderter Form).
Only the denazified pieces could be 1957er versions: 1957er Auszeichnungen
A medal bar with 1957er decorations can be called a 1957er bar, but that does not make the other originals or copies on the bar to 1957er decorations.
