Long service bar

Simple Bar

Super Bar

Here are others I have in my collection.

Reverses

Here's a nice set of ribbon bars.

Two are the normal size and two are smaller than I've seen. Also, these came with the ribbons for the medals but the medals were not included.

joseph,

thanks very much for answering my query regarding the grades of this version of the deutschen ordens st. mariens zu jerusalem.

i was reading werlich's description of this, and he stated that the order originally came in four classes, but his description of the marianer version was very brief and vague. as i have never seen a breast star or sash, i was curious...

kind regards!

I've been looking for a nice one to display on my Austrian Pike Grey Tunic.

Nice

tom-

LOVE it!!!

this kind of what i call personal pride pieces

are always eye candy. a very nice addition.

joe

Super! GREAT FIND! :cheers:

All I can say at the moment, based on the reference material that I have, is that the regimental cypher was changed some time between 1899 and 1914. I have an 1899 dated Ruhl book that shows the 100th's cypher as the "AR". I have several references that show it having changed to "FAR" by 1914. Another change was made in that the cypher and crown, which had been made from yellow material (cord and cloth), were changed to white for the Dunkelblau uniform.

While there is plenty of information about the Prussian cyphers and their changes in Paul Pietsch's two volume work, there is nothing equivalent that I know of for the Saxon army. I'm sure something exists, but there just has not been a modern reprint.

I say two is better than one! :love:

Do we have any evidence - ie actual research - that that Saxon Leib Regt changed its Shoulder Board pattern from a crowned AR to Crowned FAR during the war? This seems to be the original pattern -

i have never seen a photo showing a variant. i have a pair of JR101 straps with numbers not cyphers so they should belong to RIR101.

Nice strap Chip. what can I say? wow, it's very close to mine and very desirable to ME :love:

:banger:

Then, of course, there is the Wilhelmskreuz with swords and crown - often mislabeled Wilhelmskreuz first class. I hope that this information is informative.

Best wishes,

Wild Card

Wilhelm Cross with swords and crown

What was this awarded for and to what ranks?

Also, I've seen darker versions with differing pin and catch. Could there be multiple patterns/makers?

Precisely:

TWO INTACT MEDAL BARS TO BROTHERS:

1) torn to shreds and the scraps sold as individual fragments

2) offered for sale and "auction ended" (fate unknown)

and now...

bits and pieces, dribbles and drabs, an odd this and a singular that... and only the idiot himself knows what ELSE is being split up into individually meaningless "offerings"...

completely divorced from attribution in the case of awards being sold that were NOT worn on either medal bar but which verifiably belonged to Identified Brother 1 or Identified Brother 2...

when the groups were INTACT, Anno Domini 2008.

The seller is an moron destroying history and like all gredy cretins, deluding himself that he is "making" more National Currecncy Units by selling PIECES than WHOLES.

Worth LESS... WITLESS. A rubbish picker in charge of a museum....

Who is this idiot wrapped in a moron doing these heinous crimes

very nice....

nice family group

thanks

Wow, nobody wants to offer an opinion? What about the patch, the wings, the cloth, the insignia...

I think it's a nice set but wonder if the patch is the quality you would expect from a Paris tailor.

Looks almost exactly like Christophe's

Not from Texas that I know of... From the east...

I thinks its real, would anyone object?

OPINIONS PEASE ON THIS UNIFORM

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...N:IT&ih=002

Me too , call me dumb but what is really wrong with the group? I wish to learn something from this thread also. Thanks.

?

Is anyone going to explain the problems?

Wow Paul - wow, wow, wow. Thanks for posting the photos.

Wow.

Wow is right! Awesome

Charles,

You know better than that.

Would those who have Saxon Straps please post them here?

The eagles were embroidered then applied to the tab. I dont think that they would snap off. I will ask the owner if he can make some more images.

I have never seen a Luft General with a color other than white on the tabs and boards. Did Artillery generals normally wear red?

Oh jeeeez, it's not the Friend Of Mankind from Texas, is it?

Looks almost exactly like Christophe's

Not from Texas that I know of... From the east...

What a beauty!

The characteristic Godet exposed = hinge for the pin and their usual light gray backing and wide catches are classic identifying parts.

Seller indicates its a repro but I say its real... I hope I'm right causen I'm buyin it...
