    At last the ugliest. The quality hit list goes certanly from Scharffenberg to Roesner to Glaser & Sohn. Glaser made some really low quality but cheap pieces towards the end of WWI. One will always find those knight badges first and second class. They were also known for the golden grand cross stars!, yet the officers cross is something I have seen only once. Here it is:

    Hi Paul, that's exactly what it is supposed to be. But I don't think it's real and I don't think even if it was that it was awarded to this guy. But that's going from rough photos.... It would be very surprising to find a Saxon Albert Order Medal (Type 1, less than 66 total awards from 1861-1866) on this bar.

    It is unlikely but true. This was one of Tony Colson's bars. Indeed the real deal !!!!

    There were 834 medals in silver awarded between 1861 and 1875.

    Another Saxon AOR, this one RK1X, again a Scharffenberg....... many people mistakenly take the "S" as "silber", when it is actually for Scharffenberg. You will find multiple variations of their maker marks from a simple "S" to a full blown "Scharffenberg/Dresden mark spread out on the bottom of both arms!

    A solo RK2x in parade mount. The three o'clock arm is stamped Scharffenberg, the six o'clock arm is stamped S, and the nine o'clock arm is stamped Dresden.

    Hello,

    Very nice and interesting thread about beautifull enamel work !!, just love.

    I have also a little bar on its way with one of these thingy's on, is it possible to identify who did produce the Albrechtorden simply by looking at its characteristics ?

    Cordial greetings,

    Gentlemen,

    Since someday acquiring the full sizes versions are slim and none, I was recently fortunate enough to get the little brothers.

    Best wishes,
