Deruelle Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hi everybody, Today I have received this very nice ribbon bar to add to my Saxon collection (Thanks a lot P C.). The combo is unusual. But after doing some research I found only one man who received the exact match : SH3 : knight cross of St Henry of Saxe SA3aX : knight cross 1st class with X of Albert of Saxe EK2 : iron cross 2nd class WK3X : knight cross with X of Order of the Crown of Wurttemberg This bar is a pure wartime ribbon bar. No peace ribbons, no long service, only wartime ribbon bar. The name of our man is : Oberstleutnant Alfred Heygendorff (1868-1916) and commander of RIR Nr. 245. I have the photo of Heygendorff showing this exact ribbon bar. That's why it is so familiar to me. Have a look Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
