Albrechtsorden 1st class with swords

[laurentius]

Dear fellow collectors

I am rejoiced to have finally acquired a saxon order of Albert 1st class with swords. It's a lovely piece manufactered by Scharffenberg from Dresden. It has hallmarks on three of the arms (S, Scharffenberg and Dresden). It's good company for my other order of Albert, a cross 2nd class with swords. Both pieces were bestowed during WW1.

Kind regards, Laurentius

A nice pair. I like the pieces with the full Scharffenberg markings the best.

Dear friend, I think the order of Albert is very cumbersome. There are double swords, no double swords, garlands, no garlands, crowns, no crowns. . Oh my god!Also, congratulations on receiving your new “baby”

Dear 1812 overture

I think the order of Albert isn't cumbersome, the opposite I dare say. It gives a collector the chance to completly indulge himself in a hunt, trying to get all the variations, with crown, with crown and swords, with swords. I currently have 2 orders of Albert and I only need 5 more variations and I'll have all the crosses 1st and 2nd class. To me it sounds like an adventure, rather than something cumbersome.

Kind regards, Laurentius

Have you considered the feelings of the poor?I only have one order for Albert, he is a peculiar version,

[Stogieman]

One of the first pieces I ever acquired was an Albert, 2nd Class with swords. I thought it was so beautiful it fueled years of collecting Saxony.... congratulations!

Dear Dond

That is a very nice SA3aXKR, yours? I might be wrong here, but it looks like a Roessner piece.

Kind regards, Laurentius

[dond]

Yes, it is mine. Marked "S" on the bottom arm.

Dear Dond

Nice, although I'll have to work on my knowledge on the makers of the Albrechtsorden 

Kind regards, Laurentius

Yes, but I don't understand the connection to the GIF.

I believe the official name for this award would be;

Albrechtsorden Bruststern zum Komturkreuz mit Schwertern am Ring
