Hi

Very interesting and thanks for sharing it with us

Hi Charles

It seems that the adjudant sash has been stopped with the new regulation in 1915-1916. to be sure it will interesting to read the Armee Veordnungsblatt from this aera.

Christophe

Hi Luftmensh

just for information, there is no swords on the Hamburg Hanseatenkreuz. I know you know it.

Christophe

Hi

I have seen this order too and like you I have a doubt. After reading my book, nothing have been made like this before. Like N ew wolrd said this is probably a one set medal, a prototype and never been on the market. I have not enough Bulgarian books to be sure. Even if I will be interested to buy it, I'd prefer pass on it

Christophe

Hi

In DOA from 1909

Christophe

In the Geile's book, the HHO3X is awarded on 20 October 1917

Bischoff received the Bavarian Military Merit Order 4th class with swords and crown on 28 November 1915.

It is strange that the crown not appeared here on the BVO ribbon and appeared on the HHO3X ribbon. That's all I can find for the moment

and here is the Feldspange

Christophe

Hi

Nice photo Andreas! It's good to see one that shows an officer's version. My cloth example is black velvet with silver wire border and letters. It belonged to a Saxon officer. I have a pair of his shoulder boards too.

 

Chip

Hi Chip

It's the first time I see such item, could you show us the shoulderboards please. Everything saxon interest me. Thanks

Christophe

What a beauty !

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for the informations. in the 104 history unit, only  12 LK were awarded, but no date were written. Too bad

hi

It seems to be a good one.

Here is the twin bar

Christophe

On your bar it is too bad that the SV ribbon is after the SA one.

Hi

Very nice medal bar. I like it. It's difficult to find such saxon medal bar with Reuss connection. Congrats

Christophe

Hi Christer

Very nice cross, thanks for sharing it with us

Christophe

Hi

After the 15 september 1915, the order is not returned to the Order Chancellerie afther the dead of the owner. And before this date yes the order of St Henry should be returned.

Officially, the  Court Jeweler is Scharffenberg, but Roesner dit it too.

Here is the hallmark of one of my SH3

Christophe

In 1915, the Jeweller Osang made some knight cross of St Henry.

Here is one more photo of the St Henry. Both are made from Scharffenberg but you can clearly see the difference.

Hi

What a beauty. Congrats.

Christophe

Hi Chris

Very nice display. Congrats

Christophe

Thanks for your reply. S is for Scharffenberg. your knight cross 2nd class seems to be from Scharffenberg too.

Here is a photo of mine with their original box. All of m ine are from Scharffenberg

congrats for your purchase

Christophe

Hi

Very nice saxon medals. Can you tell me which hallmarks they have please. Thanks.

Christophe

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot for showing this nice photo.

Christophe

Thanks Charles, amazing collection. Congrats

Christophe

Hi

I am impressed by the quality of your collection. Congrats.

When I've begun to collect Militaria, the first book I have bought is the  von  Salomon's Freikorps book from 1938. At that time I'd loved to collect freecorps medals but I have never found one in militaria show. Later I have found some dealers who sold some but there is a lot of fake. So I have chosen to collect Imperial medals.

Thanks for sharing your collection with  us.

Christophe

Charles,

Very nice uniform. Congrats. Is there a name inside your uniform ?
