1953/54, Stalinstadt/Fürstenberg (Oder), later Eisenhüttenstadt. Grandpa and comrades.

Pics for eternity.

And probably Stalinstadt/Fürstenberg (Oder) 1953/54, too. Grandpa and comrades.

Looks like he is wearing some sort of ribbon or metal on his left lapel.

I can't say for sure what that would be, but he was a veteran of the 1916 Rising and did 3 years in prison for it.

I thought it might be some honor award bestowed him from his poetry.

If this were more in my price range...

This vintage Norddeutscher Lloyd Handelsmarine cap. I tend to favor HAPAG (Hamburg Amerika Linie) as I already have a HAPAG flag cap insignia which is what the NDL flag is on this cap:

This I found in Collector's Guild. Barring this, a decent quality repro would make me just as happy. (And yes, I would wear it.)

I'm a non-smoker, but I will take the drink.

Jeez, even the children in that photo look like they would beat you up at the slightest provocation.
