Luckily in Schloss Rickenstein, although the parapets are a bit tricky in high winds, there are many rooms in the dungeon for long term storage:

wartime Saxon Hussar wearing his on the "wrong side" due to cavalry uniform rigging:

hard to find a nicer photo than this one:

Feldwebel Ferdinand Caville in 1905 with a very nice high class one (note cipher on the shoulder-end braid), worn on the normal side:

Hallo Rick, many thanks for your posts,

just a couple of quick questions with regards the Saxon Husar chappie;

1. Is the first medal on the bar shown reversed?

2. What is the significance of the sleeve emblem of crossed pennants??

No, he's a Saxon, so Saxon awards come first. Qualified signaller rating on the sleeve-- and special military cavalry-signals school graduate straps, too.

Hail Rick, sorry for not stating my question better, I was asking is the first medal on the bar showing the reverse?? and thanks for the info on the sleeve badge.
