My new bar.

If I correctly think it the seaman from Saxony?

Everything is all right with it bar?

No-- a junior army enlisted man. Sometimes the backing color helps, sometimes it doesn't.

Navy personnel wore decorations in Reichs precedence-- which was the same as Prussian regulations.

Given that the EK2 ribbon is on top and in full array doesn't that make this a frack bar?

Saxons and Bavarians carried awards of the states the first.

ЕК2 For them was the foreign award.

Probably.

It means there can be a seaman?

[dond]

It means for wear with civilian clothes. But then the FA medals would be out of order...... Ok, somebody please explain to me how the saxon's did their ribbons because I am getting confused.

Nope. Last ribbon "on top" just means the outfitter was a dyslexic learner.

Remember: on a Frackspange for civilian wear, the ribbons are usually ANGLED not up and down, and the pin should be (unless it was a dyslexic learner ) with the pin catch opening DOWN. Opening UP, it would fall off if bumped!

Catch = down or out direction.

[dond]

That clears it makes for me.

Here is a PERFECT Frackspange-- ribbons properly angled-- same blue backing BTW (probably to match the wearer's civilian suit)

and...

the beginner outfitter used a normal style medal bar backing with the open catch UP, so if anything snagged on that bar-- it would have fallen straight off! :banger:
