Bundesrepublik 57er U-Boot ribbon bar

[Arthur Spooner]

Hello,

I am a new member of this excellent forum. I am collecting 57er miniatures, and

today I have read many interesting posts here.

Therefore I want to show you two ribbon bars of one U-Boot vet.

One with only TR awards and one later with two additional BRD awards.

Matthias.

Beautiful! I wonder if there was another one at some point over the black section on the second row on the second bar... either that or he wore it only on his dress blue uniform and figured it wouldn't show on there. But great bars! :jumping:

Do you have the history of them, ie: the name, etc., of the original recipient?

Dan :cheers:

These are two great ribbon bars! I really like the 2 row bar.

Best wishes

Thank you gentlemen.

Unfortunately I have no further information about the recipient.

It is very seldom to get the name to a ribbon bar. The most seller

are not interested in history they only see the money

The miniature of the 7th ribbon, the German Sports Badge, is

lost. It is/was not allowed to wear the full size badge on the tunic.

So it was not removed from the ribbon bar by the recipient imo.

The 57er U-Boot ribbon bars are not so common, and two from

the same person are very hard to find. I was very happy to got

both together, the buyer wanted to sell them seperately.

Arthur Spoon,

Congratulations on your work in keeping these two bars together. Too many people are not interested in saving history, as you mentioned in your post.

Regards,

Gordon

That is a beautiful bar grouping. It would be awesome to find a uniform to mount it on!
