What is missing from this unusual bar

[Paul C]

A recent ebay pick up. The 3 medal bar with a very unusual bar. I have only one other bar like this. The bar has the 1914 EK2 in the middle place but is missing the 2 other medals. The ribbons are for the St. Henry Medal and another Saxon medal. My questions are:

1. Which St. Henry medal is mssing? Does anyone have a pic of it?

2. What Saxon medal is missing? i.e. long service, Albert cross ...?

I would like to restore the bar to its originall condition.

Undoubtedly the Silver Medal of the Saint Henry Order-- despite the Order's name, the profile of the founding King is on it, ponytailed wig like George Washington. Any Saxon enlisted long service would do IX, XII, XV.

I can probably help on the Long Service Medal, no "spare" SSHM's laying about though. That one will be easy enough to find in Germany. Try Kai Winkler's site while his "sale" is still on....

Finally complete. The strike on the St. Henry is really, really, nice. And a very unusual mount, pure saxon.

Hello. I am very interested in this medal mount. Would it be possible to get a reverse image? Also how are the medals/ribons attached? Are the medals attached directly to the bar, or are they connected to the ribbons?

Thanks in advance,

Keith

Keith, I will try to do a scan tomorrow. The medals are attach via a clip inside the ribbon fold. It was rather easy to attached the medals.
