laurentius Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Dear fellow collectors I am rejoiced to have finally acquired a saxon order of Albert 1st class with swords. It's a lovely piece manufactered by Scharffenberg from Dresden. It has hallmarks on three of the arms (S, Scharffenberg and Dresden). It's good company for my other order of Albert, a cross 2nd class with swords. Both pieces were bestowed during WW1.

VtwinVince Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 A nice pair. I like the pieces with the full Scharffenberg markings the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1812 Overture Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Dear friend, I think the order of Albert is very cumbersome. There are double swords, no double swords, garlands, no garlands, crowns, no crowns. . Oh my god!Also, congratulations on receiving your new “baby” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Dear 1812 overture I think the order of Albert isn't cumbersome, the opposite I dare say. It gives a collector the chance to completly indulge himself in a hunt, trying to get all the variations, with crown, with crown and swords, with swords. I currently have 2 orders of Albert and I only need 5 more variations and I'll have all the crosses 1st and 2nd class. To me it sounds like an adventure, rather than something cumbersome.
