That's great Kurt!

A 57er at a flea market? You certainly wouldn't see that here in the states!

A rare feldspangen for sure!!!

I really look forward to seeing more of your collection! Any 57er collector is a friend of mine!

like it

I like how the eagles talons are in the landing gear up position
as it no longer needs to carry anything. Congrats

Aaaahh.... Interesting pieces!!
I have read that these were prototype pieces made by S&L, the idea was, i think, that they could be worn alongside medals on bars, but for whatever reason, the idea was dropped, but not until after S&L had already made a fair amount of them!!
Dont know if anyone else has heard this, or has any other idea's or info on them??
S&L sold them off to collectors in the 1960's i think, you dont see them very often these days!! They can't be called proper 57ers, but are still of interest to 57 and postwar collectors!!!
Thanks for showing!!!!!!!!!!
