Saxony Saxon Bars, show yours!

[Beau Newman]

The Saxony/Reuss combo likely indicates a 13th Jager Batallion connection.  I posted this group a few years back elsewhere but, it fits here, as well.

I like the order of precedence on this one.

[saxcob]

The last award (Kriegerverein 1866er?) still to be identified.

...another one with 1863/64, 1866 and 1870/71 awards.

Wild Card - Interesting Saxony/Hannover combo.  Do you know the story behind it?

[Wild Card]

Hi Beau,

Good to hear from you. All that I have on him so far is that he is listed in the Hannover 1865 House and State Handbook as a premier lieutenant on the staff of the engineer corps. After 1866 he, like many other Hannoverians, continued his career in the Saxon army. My notes show that he served in the 2nd Co., Royal Saxon Pioneer Bn.

I should probably point out that his Hannover jubilee medal is a 21 April 1804/ 21 April 1904.

That’s about it.

Best wishes.

Thanks Pep for reviving this thread. Some beautiful bars for sure. Would love to have one or two in this thread in my own collection.

Hello,

The bar of San.Vizefw. Bechstädt.

Cordial greetings

[Peter J]

A well worn Preussia/Saxony combo. Too bad about the rather amateurish attempt to restore the blue border.

[ixhs]

Very nice bars out there. Unfortunately i do not have a real saxon medal bar.

[GlennC]

German pilot in Turkish army.

Wow Glenn...a superb oil.  Does that reside in your collection?
