Deruelle Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hi Graham, thanks for your kind word. You have got two very nice crosses. Congrats. The most difficult will be to find boxes to go with them. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Beautiful Komtur. Thanks Chuck and Christophe, yes the boxes are far more difficult to find. Lastly my Cross of Honor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) @Graham : you have another nice medal, congrats. @Komtur : You are lucky to have the Kielmansegg medal bar. It is strange that the SA3a he received on 24 May 1909 is not on his medal bar. I don't know why he never received the SH3 or SA2BX. I like the old SV3aX Christophe Edited June 26, 2020 by Deruelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why it is arranged this way, shouldn't the iron cross be on the first place, than the saxonian and then the war merit cross from Brunswick be in the 3rd place? Bu a real beauty.

Deruelle Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hello Recently I have bought this nice card. Here is Leutnant d. R. Walther Kleeberg from IR 134. He received the SH3 on 8 December 1916 SV3bX after May 1918 (not on the Roth's book) SA3bX on 30 November 1915 HE3X on 2 May 1918 With that photos a new SV3bX is discovered. Now there is 1882 Saxon officers who received it. you can see that Kleeberg choose to wear the HE3X ahead the iron cross 2nd class against the rule. The photo has been taken in 1921 Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurentius Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 2 hours ago, Deruelle said: A very nice picture. I wonder if the EK1 was later added to the picture? Rässler stands at an angle to the camera but the EK1 seems to be photographed straight from the front. Kind regards, Laurentius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
