Small Saxon trapezoidal ribbon bar

[Deruelle]

Hi everybody,

This morning I received this nice trapezoidal ribbon bar . A very nice one indeed.

The ribbons are for the Saxon Albert knight cross 1st class and the second ribbon is for the Saxon long service.

Very nice.

What is the first order on the picture of Fürstenau ? (le premier en partant du haut, en boutonnière... Je ne voit pas bien)

The first medal is the knight cross of St Henry of Saxe

Very nice spange, Christophe, congratulations. But how do you know the first is not for the second class of the Albert Order?

Hi,

It is rare to see a SA3b with SDA, and if the officer received the SA3b at the beginning of his career, like in Prussian with RAO and KO, he he received higher grade of the same order with time. that's why for me the first ribbon is only for the SA3a. That's only my opinion
