Very nice. What was the key to doing the identification?

[Deruelle]

Hi Paul,

It was the ÖFJ3. After that, it was easy to find saxon officer who had all three grades of SA3. In the beginning I thought the red ribbon was the SF ribbon. But like I have no match, I look through the Nimmergut's book and find the Austrian ribbon.

There is another similar bar for an officer of Ulanen Reg. The only difference is that the other man has never received the SA3bX. He received the SA3aX and after the crown to the cross.
