I would ask one of the Imperial experts to verify this. My best Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schießplatzmeister Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hello Gentlemen, I like to know if these awards below have a ribbon bar to wear in uniforms (expecificaly these classes)if yes, a like to view them or the commom ribbon bar of order is used? Thx a lot in advance Cheers Crown Order - 2nd Class with swords - Kingdom of Prussia Red Eagle Order - 2nd Class with swords - Kingdom of Prussia Military Merit Order - 2nd Class with swords - Kingdom of Bavaria Hello Alexandre: While not an expert, I will share the following: Officially, the representations of these classes of these particular awards were not worn on a field ribbon bar. However, there were always exceptions, and examples are known of some very high ranking German Officers (usually with connections to various ruling houses) wearing the ribbon of a particular Order on their field ribbon bar with a miniature representation of the higher class (neck class of the Order or sash class of the Order) on the ribbon in the style that was popular (and Officially sanctioned) with Austrian Officers. I recall in particular a field ribbon bar that I have seen which had Saxon Orders (SEHO, etc.) on it that may have been in the Seymour collection and later passed through the Thies auction. Perhaps GMIC member Deruelle will have a better recollection regarding that particular example. He IS an expert regarding the awards of Saxony and Thuringian States.

Pierce Hello Pierce: Thank you for providing this excellent example! The Order ribbon with the device is for an Austrian Order of the Iron Crown award. So, here is an example of a German Officer wearing an Austrian award in the Austrian fashion. Best regards, "SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
