There is no doubt that this medal is not an original award piece.
Not a small or large gold medal.
There are no original pieces without RM.
Not because of the suspension, which was often modified to make it easier to mount on the clasp.
At best it is a collector's item or a post-war production.
But what does this mean in reverse? A copy
I wouldn't want it.

no original not genuine.
No R M - The letters next to the collar (stamp cutter Rudolf Mayer)
The gilding is modern.
The suspension is wrong, should be a hanger.

This is what a genuine medal should look like

I also think that the size was given incorrectly.
The medal looks good but very worn.
What is the marginal name on the medal. Can you specify that.

Order of battle of the Waterloo campaign

Beautiful estate.

Highly decorated soldier with Baden Karl Friedrich Medal and Prussian Military Cross of Merit.

Very nice and rare.

Thank you for presenting.

Hi Graham,

FAR57 is not a Baden unit, but Welker was a Baden compatriot.

He lived in Baden Mannheim/Waldhof my hometown.

The last time I saw this medal was in 2013 at an auction in Baden.

Very nice. It is a long way from Baden to Australia.

Regards
Bernhard

Motivated by the new knowledge. I found the following awards for Becker. Saxon C. Merit 1st class, Saxon Albrecht Order 1st class with crown, Austria Knight of the Iron Crown

Ah, Komtur was early....

This is also my opinion now. If you look at the awards of the Braunschweig Officer's Cross.

I got the officers through and unfortunately no hit that is very promising.

Major von Koenneritz doesn't fit. see ranking from 1914

Major Erich Wagner had too little on his chest in 1914. see ranking from 1914

Saxon War Merit Cross It is the only Saxon war award so it comes first.

The other Saxons are not war awards.

Hello Deutschritter.
the rankings from 1896-1914 are at HathiTrust only in the USA public domain.
This effect occurs if HathiTrust is accessed with a European IP address. The ranking lists can only be used to a limited extent. You can get around this with VPN. e.g. with Opera browser

One - unfortunately today missing (would be interesting if someone could clarify this) - single-item is the grand masters cross

This is a black and white photo before 1945, not current.
To my knowledge, the cross is lost unknown as described in the book .

This book " Die Orden des Königreiches Sachsen "speaks of the special Grandmaster's Cross.
Unfortunately, this cross has disappeared today.

It differs from other grand crosses by the balls on the cross arms.

Kind regards
