Hello, I have a doubt about the name of your medal bar. How can a Saxon officer made his duty in a Prussian unit ? Especially before the war. I have another doubt. Your officer served in 1897, explain the Centenary medal. But why is he received the SA3bX and SV3bX (for Leutnant and Oberleutnant) during WW1 and the SDA 25 ? Something disturb me here. I will continue my research. Christophe

Hi, I have found this to explain the swords on ring. The Saxon regulation from 1915 still exist after the end of the Monarchy. To be honest, I have never heard that an officer wore all three awards and particularly one with swords on ring and another with swords between the branches @BlackcowboyBS said, during the Weimar aera the medals and order from the old Monarchy is not accepted. But the EK were still awarded till 1924. Probably as a good German who respects the rules, Fritsch has chosen not to wear the SA3aX on his medal bar and like Dave said he has chosen to wear the rarest medal on his medal bar. It is a good choice. Christophe

Hi Claudio, You are right, my first tought was on Flaccus, but Haufe received the KVK2, ÖstKDM and UngKDM and two more awards. It is not easy without papers. If his files was in Washington, maybe someone can do the research. Who know, one day. Congrats for your job to reunite such nice group. Christophe

Hello Recently I have found someone who is not listed in the St Henry books. Lt d.R. Hans Brückner received SH3 and EK1 on 22August 1918. He should received it before (3 weeks probably). I have no more information. I have found him on Dresdner Nachrichten. I forgot to mention that he was from Dobien near Wittemberg in Germany If you have more information about him, thanks for your help. Christophe

Hi New discovery about Ernst Freiherr von Althaus. We have never found the exact date of his HOH3X award. In Dresdner Nachrichten, on the date of May, the 11th 1916, it is said that he aldready had the EK1 and had new award : the HOH3X. Like his 6th victory is on May, the 3rd 1916. He received it as an immediate award probably on 8 or 9 May. I think it is the same about his EK1, His 5th victory is on 30 April 1916, he should received it 1st May as an immediate award Christophe

Hi I have found only 2 saxon officier who received SA3aXKr and KVK (which can match with this medal bar). But in my list I have no idea if those officers received the Colonial medal. It's the first time I see such claps on the colonial medal. Why there is no Prussian colonial medal like RAO4X or KO4X ? Christophe
