I think I'd trade my mother for the Halkett Schnalle, fantastic.

Superb group... I like especially the Bulgarian green order, which is also so beautifully confirmed of the photo and the ZVO1Kl... too bad that the medallion on the back is missing! :-(

[Sal]

My only contribution...small but I am a fan of bars with orders so...

Gentlemen,

 

If I may. This is so hard to believe, I hesitate asking. With regard to post #45 (General’s ribbon bar), is it my aging eyes or is his collar tab on backwards! A general? really?

 

If it is correct, I apologize for taking your time.

 

Regards,

Good eyes Chris! I didn't even notice that... (it's post # 43 however). That is most unusual... totally wrong!

ciao,

 

Claudio

There has to be a story behind a pre-war Bavarian MVO to a Saxon.

May I ask, please, why these are on Austrian-style trifold ribbons? Was this a Saxon custom for non-Court mounted medals?

Saxony mounted a lot of medals on tri-folds. I don't know the dates when they did this, but I have handled/seen many Saxon bars mounted like this

Thanks for that, Stogieman. I wonder if anyone else can shed some light on this?

[Beau Newman]

Until 1866, Saxony was more closely aligned with Austria than Prussia.  They fought on the Austrian side in the Austro-Prussian War.  As a result, many of their military traditions had Austrian influences.  The tri-fold mount was one of these.

[Chris Boonzaier]

Does anyone have any wartime pics showing the trifolds being worn?
