It's that rare of a combo? Best I was hoping for was a particular regiment with the requisite cross-pollination. -
Soon to be headed my way, courtesy of one of our esteemed forumites, is this lapel bow. Anyone have any thoughts as to what sorts of enlisted man / NCO would have been in a position to earn Saxon and Schwarzburg decorations?

Order of the Crown of India & the Order of the Star of India are on a ribbon quite similar to the Greek Redeemer.

Any luck yet, oh dear kiwi comrade?

...and the less decorated:

Almost through the stack...

Purchased at two different times from two different dealers, this reunited pair taunts me with it's unidentified ribbon. (RR can attest to the depths of my insanity in this regard.)

An aviator of some sort:

Just as senior, and even more decorated:

A decorated and very senior NCO:

My best Wurttemburg bar isn't really even a bar...

It was a whopping $10 at the local flea market. The seller looked like he had either hit an estate sale or (more likely) bought an abandoned storage locker. There were some bits and pieces that suggested there may have been an American army officer's junk involved somewhere along the way.

I think I may still have the business card of a Member of the Victorian Order that I met while working at my last job, but he was a big guy, and I'd imagine the shipping on him would cost a pretty penny... Seriously though, gorgeous bar.

Most of the rest of the lot is fairly mundane. However, this lapel bow turned out to be a pleasant surprise. In the auction listing, it was turned sideways in the photo - couldn't make heads or tails of it. According to RR, it might just be traceable when the appropriate Wurttemburg rolls come out.
