It was reissued in 1957 by the Bundeswehr for veterans. Recipients had to have the lower grade of the award before getting the next level. Knights Crosses, Iron Crosses, Wound Badges, Tank Assault Badges etc were re-designed by Steinhauer & Lück – often with the oak-leaf spray replacing the swastika, with S&L having the sole patent rights to all WW2 1957 German decorations.
