    Dear fellow collectors,

    here is my  latest acquisition, a Saxon frackspange made after 1934. Saxon spanges in this style are rare, especially when made after 1933. The second picture is with my other Albrechtsorden. The albrechtsorden on the bar is made by Roesner, and the other two are from Scharffenberg.

    Kind regards, Laurentius

    Claudio, I love anything with a mounted Merit Order! Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks Rick! You know that I saw the exactly Sto arrivando!me medal bar with the same combination of decorations and documents being sold on a German auction ? Either is this combination not unique or it was the same wearer....

    Nice stuff!!!! Do the ribbon bars come with name’s attributions?

     

    Thanks. Unfortunately no names. Also, I believe the combinations are common, so it would come down to photographic evidence for identification :(

    Dr. Speck, would not be that hopeless.

    The bar in the middle - double Saxon + Oldenburg looks a bit promising.

     

    Best,

    Hi Daniel,

    That would be cool :jumping: there is not much to go on though. I reckon it would require a process of elimination based on what is and what isn't there - and all the bearers (around '38/'39) with this combination would have to be known...

    Best regards. Peter

    Dr.Speck,

    for that bar, I would put Oberstarzt Dr. Hans Erchenbrecher in closer consideration.

    In WW1 he was a Oberarzt with IR 107, receiving the Saxon Duo, EK's and the Oldenburg 2nd class, served in the Reichsheer and finished as Oberstarzt in WW2.

    Saxon styled Frackspangen (tuxedo bars) are not so easy to find in a combatants`s version. 

    For this shown piece on non-combatant ribbon  - it took nearly 10 years to find such a piece for my collection. 

    The IC is a KO (Klein & Quenzer) piece - the hindy cross is a G&S (Glaser & Son, Dresden/Saxony)

    I was happy to find that piece in a small Militaria shop in 2019.
