    141was- awarded to a teacher who was active in the Prussian vets association and probably a staunch member of the navy league.

    171 is a wonderful bar. I have had a picture of it in my files for about 15 years and almost bought it. The threefer with aluminum Pwmk is outstanding.

    Saxon medal bar obverse. The first medal is the Order of Albert. Albert the Bold (1443-1500), a man of great strength and courage, was Duke of Saxony and founder of the Albertine branch of the ruling Wettin family. The Order was founded in his memory on 31 December 1850 by King Friedrich Augustus II to recognize ‘all those who render useful service to the state, or who distinguish themselves through civil merit, science, art, etc., who have earned a claim to Our recognition’. On 31 January 1876 the statutes were amended and the Albert Cross was added to the Order. Some 5,573 examples were awarded before the Cross was changed to a one-piece construction from silvered metal in 1909. The Order was suppressed in 1918.

    Obverse of a fine older bar with the Duppel Medal 1864, the Alsen Cross 1864, the 1866 Koniggratz Cross and the 1864 War Medal. What a interesting mid 19h Century group with combatant ribbons for all the medals.

    Obverse and of course with the Hannover, Langensalza 27 June 1866 Medal at the front, we know that this bar was worn by A. Kreiss. I wish there were medal rolls so I could find out what regiment he served in.
