    Saxon Albert Orders


    Recommended Posts

    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.

    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!

    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,
