    Hi everybody,

    Looking through my database I have found that some saxon officer airmen has received the following medals :

    SH3 : knight cross of St Henry of Saxe

    SV3bX : knight cross 2nd class with X of Merit Order of Saxe

    SA3bX : knight cross 2nd class with X of AlbertOrder of Saxe

    EK2 : iron cross 2nd class

    HHO3X : knight cross with X of the House Order of Hohenzollern.

    The following photo come from the vol. 3 Kingdom of Saxe of Aviation awards of Imperial Germany from Neal O'Connor.

    The man is Leutnant Hans Gottfriend von Haebler (1893-1918). We can clearly see the ribbon bar with five ribbons.

    If someone has more information about this officer, thanks in advance.I'm looking for the date of receipt of the Hohenzollern knight cross.

    Beautiful medal bar! :love: Congrats.... I would have bet just looking at the front of the bar that it was a Godet constructed one. Too bad that it was stored so badly (see corrosion on some orders and condition of the ribbons). Nevertheless a most unusual combination of very rare orders... like the Star of Brabant order and the House Order Lippe-Detmold Ehrenkreuz the with swords!

    What a find unusual is that he got the Weissen Falken and the Lippe-Detmold orders with swords, but no Iron Cross or any other WWI commemorative medals... is there any career information about this Diplomatic/high Consular officer?

    ciao,

    Claudio
