MJC Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Gentlemen, I purchased this Saxon ribbon bar on impulse, but it can go back. I belatedly noticed the thread on the reverse, and I also wanted to solicit opinions on the 1939 EK2 Auflage. All comments are appreciated, and thanks in advance.

saschaw Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm wondering why dealers put their names on pictures, if we just re-paint it... The bar looks fine to me. Very fine. I don't think you should let it go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I don't know why I bothered blocking out the website address when all of you already know! In any event, thanks for your positive comments. Is there any possibility of identifying the recipient? Still learning. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, Saxony is not my field, but I think it has chances. The Saxons both are knight's 1st class, the Württemberger for sure as well.

Paul C Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The second to last on the right looks like a Saxon long service which should have been replaced by the 1936 long service if the 1939 EK2 spange is correct for this bar. Also I am not sure it is a Wurttemberg ribbon as I see a vertical white stripe in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hi, This is a very nice ribbon bar indeed. I am very estonished that someone like Weitze make a mistake like this one. Indeed for him the ante-penultimate ribbon is the Friedrich August medal. It's in fact the SDA. Of course all members here have id it correctly. The blue ribbon seems to be a Wurttemberg ribbon for Friedrich knight cross, probably 1st class with X. I like the crown on the Albert ribbon Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if he was in service pre-WW2, which he apparently was not. I think that's the bar to a re-activated officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Nothing is written in stone, especially email confirmations of sale. I received a follow up email from Weitze retracting their confirmation of sale to me, and crediting my account. Apparently, they made an error and the bar had previously been sold to another collector, although I continue to fail to see how this happened. Even in the madness of a new listing. The only saving grace is that a collector and friend here on GMIC purchased it, fairly I might add, and that it enters his excellent collection where it is among good company. Congratulations. :cheers: Edited January 29, 2011 by Mike Constandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi, Here are some close up of the ribbon bar. First one is the blue ribbon, which is for the Wurttemberg Friedrich Order. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 He has done this to me in the past too(something placed on hold then sold to someone else after payment was sent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 In any event, that's one of the nicest Saxon carryover ribbon bars I have seen in some time. I will speak to RR about it Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
