New Saxon ribbon bar

[Deruelle]

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

Good job with the ID and I am glad the bar has a happy new home.

Hi everybody,

It's an old topic, but recently I have taken photos of my collection. Here is a "famous chest photo of Heygendorff's medals.
