    It appears to be the Breast Star of the Grand Cross of the Saxe-Ernestine House Order. The Grand Cross Badge is at the end of the sash off camera near his sword hilt. This was actually awarded as late as 1935.

    :o Is that the only thing you're asking about???

    What is that tiny, white maltase cross below that formidable medal bar, about WNW of the circled breast badge?

    Hello Guys,

    Thx for the infos about the breast star.

    I have 2 more questions:

    1- Does anybody have a ribbon bar of the Grand Cross of the Saxe-Ernestine House Order to show ?

    2- Anyone knows if von Epp received any foreign condecoration during the Nazi period (1933-1945) ?

    Thx a lot in advance,

    :cheers:

    Re: Grand Cross - not worn on medal or ribbon bar - either sash, neck or nowhere.

    Yes, Claudio owns the medal bar AND ribbon bar of the unfortunate Georg Prinz von Sachsen-Meiningen. His ribbon bar bears a Kleindekoration Ernestine star...

    but Kleindekorations were an Austrian habit and never officially sanctioned in Germany.

    What somebody At The Top (at least when they thought so of themselves) chose to do with something exotic... who was to tell THEM "no?" :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the clarification Rick!

    The image of the ribbon bar with the unauthorized ribbons and appurtenances can be found in the thread ?Meet Prinz Georg von Sachsen-Meiningen Medal bar and research? or

    http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2298

    For those easily confused such as myself ? the subject ? ol? Georg, is from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, not the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar or the Kingdom of Saxony? phew ? that was some twisted thread for a while! (Sorry ? couldn?t resist the pun)
