Hi Scottplen

Very nice Saxon/Bulgarian bar & to have the signature of maker is certainly a plus since so many are found without.

Sincerely

The Saxon St. Henry Medal (as well as the Verdienst Order medals), if the official issue, will have the F.U. maker mark under the bust. A small number of medals were struck during the 1870 conflict by Rothe in Wien, Austria and bear their mark under the bust.

Any medal found without the signature is a copy of some kind. (Yes, that includes "spangen-stuch" medals of the period, still a copy no matter how you look at it).

Hmm, nice bar, as most of yours. The Baden bar my father bought via eBay is here, by the way - fine as well.

A small number of medals were struck during the 1870 conflict by Rothe in Wien, Austria and bear their mark under the bust.

Well, that was in 1866...

I've got a quite similar Baden bar for years, unfortunally with a lower bravery award, not the St. Heinrich pendant:

Interesting to note there was even a smaller amount awarded in 1848/49 by Ulbriht. As I recently learned from a fellow member they are identical to the later pieces from 1914-18. I suppose one can argue that the Ulbriht example are more rare (1848 - 49) then the Rothe issue. Think twice before selling of your St.Henry might just have one of those old ones!!!
