Scott, that is an unusual combo, I like it.

Dear fellow collectors,

here is my  latest acquisition, a Saxon frackspange made after 1934. Saxon spanges in this style are rare, especially when made after 1933. The second picture is with my other Albrechtsorden. The albrechtsorden on the bar is made by Roesner, and the other two are from Scharffenberg.

Kind regards, Laurentius

[Stogieman]

Very nice bar and you're correct. it's hard to find one mounted like this at all, never mind post 1934

Dear forumites,

I'd like to show a Saxon medal bar and its ribbon bar I bought some years ago in Germany.

Cheers,

Thanks Rick! You know that I saw the exactly Sto arrivando!me medal bar with the same combination of decorations and documents being sold on a German auction ? Either is this combination not unique or it was the same wearer....

Nice stuff!!!! Do the ribbon bars come with name’s attributions?

 

[Nicolas7507]

That Iron Cross device is really neat.

Here is a ribbon bar, which belonged to a Hauptmann d.R. , who participated in Bandenkampf:

Thanks. Unfortunately no names. Also, I believe the combinations are common, so it would come down to photographic evidence for identification

Dr. Speck, would not be that hopeless.

The bar in the middle - double Saxon + Oldenburg looks a bit promising.

 

Best,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

That would be cool  there is not much to go on though. I reckon it would require a process of elimination based on what is and what isn't there - and all the bearers (around '38/'39) with this combination would have to be known...

Best regards. Peter

Dr.Speck,

for that bar, I would put Oberstarzt Dr. Hans Erchenbrecher in closer consideration.

In WW1 he was a Oberarzt with IR 107, receiving the Saxon Duo, EK's and the Oldenburg 2nd class, served in the Reichsheer and finished as Oberstarzt in WW2.

Outstanding collection, Jason. It is always a pleasure to see some of your bars

One of my favorites is the little bar to Hugo Geyer. What a neat combination.

 

[Utgardloki]

Amazing collection indeed, thanks for sharing!

[Claudius]

"I collect Air Force ribbon bars. " -YES you do!! 

Great collection of identified Luftwaffe bars with WWI (and earlier) service.  And these are just the ones with a Saxon connection?

[Claudio]

Great collection Jason! That’s quite a spectacular array of Saxon and high officer LW ribbon bars!!!???????

Saxon styled Frackspangen (tuxedo bars) are not so easy to find in a combatants`s version. 

For this shown piece on non-combatant ribbon  - it took nearly 10 years to find such a piece for my collection. 

The IC is a KO (Klein & Quenzer) piece - the hindy cross is a G&S (Glaser & Son, Dresden/Saxony)

I was happy to find that piece in a small Militaria shop in 2019.
