lew Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Here is the Major Leopold Gottschalch's big medal bar, one of the best Saxony bars that I have seen. Leopold had HOH3X but for some reason not mounted on this bar, any idea?Some information I have gethered about our guy:Born 22th June 1870 in Dresden, became Royal Saxon Major on 11th July 1913 and commander of the I./ 1. Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 12. With the outbreak of WW1 he had RAO4 and Albrechts order Knight 1st class with the crown and got the swords to this award on 10th February 1915. Gottschalch received the HOH3x on May 5, 1917, and Knights Cross of the Military Order of St. Henry on 14th April 1918 as Commander of the Reserve-Fußartillerie-Regiment 12.Anyone got a photo of him or more information?
The Prussian Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Hello Lew!A brilliant bar! Very nice!Major Gottschalch promoted to Oberst a.D. at the end of war.
CRBeery Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I LOVE this bar! Can we see the back? This is a different version of the Saxon mounting that I do not remember seeing before.
lew Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Yes it looks different from common Saxon trifold style, the medals are mounted by clip-on hooks. Edited October 2, 2015 by lew
