Miguel, all that means is "with swords on the case for war service"

[Stogieman]

inside we find the bronze FAM on the "war ribbon"

[Stogieman]

It is my belief that these cases were all private purchase items. The FAM was issued in a paper packet like this:

Sorry, here's a bronze issue packet:

Saxon cases make an interesting study. Here's two cases for the Albert Order in peacetime:

Now, during WW1, we see that war-time awards have these beautiful big swords impressed on the lid.

[Stogieman]

Now what I initially thought was that "oh yeah, OK... they have swords because the order inside has swords"....

Nope, my neophyte knowledge was confounded by the St. Henry Medal & RK.... this award doesn't come with swords.... but there they were on the lid!!

[Stogieman]

So.... bottom line is Yes, you can find bronze FAM for war service in a nice case with swords impressed on the lid and it's probably real. I have not seen a fake of this type of case yet...

But remember that if you were truly loaded.... you could buy a cased FAM in bronze or silver in peacetime as well....

Once upon a time..... I gathered some experience with Saxony & cases for their awards....

Thanks Stogieman, I was puzzled with the possibility thet they could exist a FAM wit swords on the ring, or so...Thanks again, of course I?ve see this in a auction of only Boxes...

By the way, what a nice medlas box collection that you have, greetings
