    Absolutely-- but too many with that combination to pluck one out, like Bernd/t von Kleist's Hohenzollern/Ernestine pair.

    With the SMK in last place... most likely a member of Saxon Inf Rgt 133.

    It is also possible that the first two were Knights 1st Class for a Captain, rather than Knights 2nd for Lieutenants. That is another "problem" with ribbons alone that do not indicate Class of awards by devices- ALL swords were gold on these.

    The best reference of all-- and pocket size so it goes easily to shows is

    These are out of print, but turn up occasionally. I thought somebody was reprinting them again last year, but that (?) appears to have fallen through. Nothing is as good as this--and they are keyed to the numbers in the matching Deutschland Katalog price guides.

    Rick, they finally did a reprint at Battenberg Verlag. Available everywhere, at least in Germany. A "must have" reference, at least for those old of us, as Rick and me, who have the 1991 issue. :P

    Rick,

    So far I have found a copy of this reference.
