Saxe-Coburg-Gotha What is this?

[dond]

Am I having a blond moment or what? I cannot find this in my OEK.

I don't see it in my Nummergut guide. It's something Saxon whatever it is. What does the cipher E S W stand for?

Hi Don,

That is a Weimer-Era Saxon veteran decoration, issued by the Ehrenbund Sächsicher Weltkriegsteilnehmer e.V. (Honorary Organisation of Saxon WWI participants), see also Detlev Niemann catalogues no. 2.02.15. This cross is the Ehrenkreuz am Band (without swords), the ribbon is of course in the typical Saxon colours, green and white: 3 lateral narrow white stripes on green.

ciao,

Claudio

Here one offered by Weitze with its document (quite rare):
