Hi everyone!

I happened upon this Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach General Honor Decoration with Clasp and Swords, and was a little concerned with it upon further review.

1. I find it interesting that even though it has Clasp and Swords, they were not joined together on the bar as one.

2. The Clasp seems to have been manufactured without the ring to attach to the medal.

3. The hilt of the Swords has a different appearance than other medals I have seen.

What do you all think? Could the recipient have received the Clasp and Swords later on during the war, and then combined them together on this mount? Did they manufacture Clasps without the ring to attach the medal to? Are there variations in the Sword hilts? Any reason why the Swords are mounted upside-down?

Thanks for any information you can provide!

Best regards,

Jason

Hi Rick

I have some people who got saxe-weimars orders and decorations pretty early (almost all before 1866) Am I correctly assuming you have the 1859 STB? Would there be recipients list of the ODM of Saxe-Weimar in it? If so, would it be possible for you to either scan them in this topic or should I give the names of the individuals I am looking for?

Hope to hear from you

regards
