Lifesaving Medals

[Kapitular]

For more details about the Imperial German lifesavingmedals you can have a look in my book:

Friedhelm Beyrei?

Ehrenzeichen deutscher Staaten f?r die Rettung von Menschenleben

Norderstedt 2006

You will find there nearly all informations about these decorations.

Still a second short information about my book:

My first Saxon Lifesaving medal ribbonbar

I will post better pic when I get it, I just have a question

The second award I took as a Brunswick BUT is there any possibility that it is a Saxon-Altenburg Merit Cross without swords ?

Have a nice weekend all and my lots of Imperial awards fall on you (old local saying in Sweden)

Are you SURE the ribbon is WHITE and not faded out pale blue?

That's a Brunswick cross 2nd place.

The Saxon Lifesaving medal had a white ribbon? I have never seen one of those before! Anyone have one?

[David S]

This is one I had which now lives with Ricky . . . he can epsonize it better

[Guest Rick Research]

I'm not entirely sure whether that IS a Saxon Lifesaving Medal in 4th place since there seems to be a ghost of robin's egg blue remaining at the top of the back, and the Albert's green is similarly faaaaaaded away.

But (after extreme effort) that one gave up its owner due to the unique combination of Saxon and Meiningen awards:

Lucky for me I did the Meiningen rolls.

I will have to break down and buy your book. Is it illustrated? I cannot believe that you were able to find ALL three versions!

[Kapitular]

Photos of each lifesavingmedal, documents and photos of persons with the decoration. 198 pages full of informations.

I`ll add some more Saxon medals.

This one from King Friedrich August in "Kriegsmetall bronziert" is extremely rare. Only ten pieces were made at the end of the war.

[Kapitular]

Now a last one, a silvermedal from King Johann for "Schmilka", only 94 pieces awarded.
