Stogieman Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Chris, I cannot imagine a relative of the Saxon putting a (insignificant) Prussian decoration on the St. Henry Ribbon. I would venture someone just "filled the space" after the fact.
Claudio Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Rick,About Flaccus and my bar... it could be that he didn't have the patience to fill out the application in order to request the Bulgarian WWI commemorative medal or just forgot about it... Strange that it didn't get the Bulgarian Military Merit order or perhaps he didn't wear it on purpose, because he wanted just to show his German decorations... Ciao,Claudio
Guest Rick Research Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Or he got the pinback version of the Bulgarian Bravery Order-- which would have been appropriate for a St Henry action:[attachmentid=18316]As far as Baron Wangenheim-- I'd certainly slide the correct awards in loose under the ribbons. For all any of us know, these awards were pulled off by an "ebay sharpie" type the weekend before the bar last changed hands.
Nick Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Lets get back to medals, other issues dealt with elsewhere.
Ed_Haynes Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Lets get back to medals, other issues dealt with elsewhere.Please.. . . other issues dealt with elsewhere.Or not at all?

Stogieman Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 2 Things with Bob's clasp. The center looks nice, bright and original, as good fire-gilt should... but you're missing the rather obvious burnishing/wear to the highpoints of the frame. My experience has been with these that a faker isn't going to bother slapping on one....
JensF. Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Fantastic medal-bars!About Claudios IR 102 medal-bar in this post:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=3...indpost&p=36770I have this medal-bar and I think it could be from a member of IR 102 too. What do you think?
Claudio Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Hi everybody;Just got it in the mail today. What do you think?Ciao,Caludio
webr55 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Ah, Claudio!You got that minutes before I wanted to "buy it now"!
Claudio Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Fortunately you didn't buy it because Rick (the evil twin) told me that it belongs to this bar... (see below)Ciao,Claudio
HeikoGrusdat Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 please allow me a simple "WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW" !!!
Guest Rick Research Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 No, I'm the GOOD Twin. That combination is unique. Glad YOU got it, and thanks to the early warning that I got! Notice that on both, in addition to the same singular combination of awards, the Saxe-Ernestine device selected on both is also "with crown"-- another confirmation that these belonged to the same wearer, from his "fashion sense."Somewhere out there is the BOTTOM row! So everybody keep a watch for it to turn up!
Claudio Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Hi Rick (the good one ),Thanks to you. Actually I had it on my watch list, but you were so positive about the fact that it could be Flaccus' ribbon bar, since this is quite a unique combination (see that KVK without swords) that I couldn't resist. Thank you again; the ribbon bar looks even better "life"...Ciao,Claudio
webr55 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I take it this is Adalbert Flaccus, Saxon Lt. dR in J?gerBtl 12, seniority 23.1.09W, promoted 1916? to Oberlt. dR.? What is known about his further career?
Stogieman Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I bought the other bar he had at the same time, a very scarce double SEHO RK ribbon bar and would have grabbed this one too except for Rick R's instantly recognizing it as a match to Claudio's group!
Bob Hunter Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Very fine bar, Claudio! Congratulations to you and to your 'eyes and ears', RR.
Chris Taylor Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I have a few Saxon bars, though not as impressive as some of those I see here, I seem to like them just fine though! First, here's a nice pair to the same Saxon soildier, both with 40 yr TR faithful Service.
Chris Taylor Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Here's one for an enlisted/NCO recalled for Polizei service.
Chris Taylor Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Here's a salty one with both Friedrich August & Saxon Long Service.
Chris Taylor Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Here's a very nice, well worn example (also one of my favorites) with a frayed St. Henry, Friedrich August, EK2 w/nice mini device & Saxon LS.
Chris Taylor Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Here's another nice salty one from the early 1930's, for a saxon with Freikorps service.
Chris Taylor Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Last for now a nice minty single for the War service medal.
Bob Hunter Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Chris, thanks for showing those interesting bars.
Deruelle Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 Hi, New ribbon bars from Saxony.RegardsChristophe
