dond Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I received these in the mail today from Dion (munster). First up, a nice bar with 1866 and 1870-71 campaign awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 The second bar is a Saxon bar and is a little more problematic. Yet, this is how it was found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Really nice 1870-1866 bar-- what's the last medal? Some sort of regimental jubilee? The LD2 in secondplace is also the deluxe firegilt type. Easy enough to clip the correct Friedrich August Medal on the Saxon bar-- either a silver or bronze will do. ANY Saxon Honor Cross with Swords is a find, even loose. Try finding a loose one if you needed one for a bar! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Powell Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 great score! i was wondering who got them,glad they went to a good home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thanks Rick and Scott. Rick, the last medal on the elder bar is a Barfuss medal. All the medals on this bar are of superior quality and the construction is nice and tight. The Saxon Honor Cross is a nice, fire gilt over bronze I believe.Scott, Dion turns up some good stuff. He has opened an Imperial section on his site now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Really nice 1870-1866 bar-- what's the last medal? Some sort of regimental jubilee? The LD2 in secondplace is also the deluxe firegilt type. And it is wayyyy oversized, isn't it? That's the opposite to a "Prinzengr??e"... Two very nice bars, I like especially the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Another beauty for a guy whose career spanned two world wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 :Cat-Scratch: Oho! An ANCIENT guy!He was probably Landwehr or Landsturm in the FIRST war-- an EX-NCO to have never seen action (noncombatant Hindenburg) though the freakishly vague Saxon War Effort Cross doesn't tell us much as to what his duties were then.But he was a noncombatant AGAIN in the SECOND war ( to see civil KVKs mounted), which with the Volkspflege suggests some sort of possibly medical-care duties.
