Beau Newman Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 My best guess would be that he has a Saxe-Weimar General Service w/Swords with what appears to be a Saxe-Altenburg Ernestine Medal w/Swords. The stap looks like either the 94th or 95th IR but, they are very similar. Interesting combo.
HeikoGrusdat Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Roman , could you please post a good closeup of the other medalbar... seems to be very interesting too... :love:
Roman Slivin Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 Roman , could you please post a good closeup of the other medalbar... seems to be very interesting too... :cheers:
HeikoGrusdat Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 .......as I thought much more interesting than the other pure saxon stuff MEZ2 an DSWA-medal in combination with a SEHO-medal with swordsclasp - if only he could talk to us when he got that medal.... great photo !!!
Guest Rick Research Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 IR 95 I think and that would be a Meiningen Silver Ernestine Medal X since Coburg (which had the stupid "Italian" style suspenssion slit) and Meiningen shared that regiment. Of course, if I am looking at the WRONG regiment to match.... just wasting time. I don't find a match from the Weimar and Ernestine Rolls (still available from Daniel, whose children cry themselves to sleep every night hungry) for a Silver or Gold Weimar Gen Dec X with a Silver or Gold Meiningen Ernestine Medal X which makes me wonder if this is a "composite" of NCOs assigned to some OTHER unit-- do they ALL have straps that are the same? The Southwest Africa veteran... I have no colonial rolls. QUITE enough work (ongoing with more and more award rolls) 1914-18.
Chip Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) The shoulder strap cypher is that of the 95th (EG). Could we have some close-ups of the other two visible straps? Chip Edited August 17, 2009 by Chip
Leutwein Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Hello Roman, is (or perhaps was) there a name on the backside??? The africa-veteran should be a NCO. So his SEHO-medal with swordsclasp (of Sachsen Meinigen) should he received as a "Reiter" or a "Gefreiter" or a "Unteroffizier". So there were only 15 possibilities. May be we can exclude (for the future) some unidentified bars or photos if we have some pics of named medal bars (in this case also with a face which is better for photo-collectors like us (for example Heiko and me) ). Would be very great if you have a name to that highly decorated africa-veteran Best wishes Karsten
