Stogieman Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Negotiated purchase, post 1934 tab-back ribbon bar! Here’s what I see: 1914 EK2 Saxon St. Henry (assuming silver medal) Saxon Allgemein Ehrenzeichen with Swords (alternatively Saxon-Altenburg Bravery Medal but I doubt this because of the St. Henry and Albert Order) Saxon Albert Order with Swords (assuming 2. Kl) Honor Cross with Swords Turkish War Medal i suppose it’s possible the St. Henry could be an RK, but it feels like an enlisted bar. I’ve reached out to Daniel to see if he can find a match. We shall see!!
VtwinVince Posted January 11, 2024 Posted January 11, 2024 Nice one Rick, I would agree it's an NCO's bar. Are you sure that isn't some sort of Red Cross award at the end?
graham Posted January 11, 2024 Posted January 11, 2024 The last one may be Austro-Hungarian. Maybe one of these: 1898 Jubilee Court Medal 1908 Jubilee Cross Order of Leopold
laurentius Posted January 11, 2024 Posted January 11, 2024 1 hour ago, graham said: Order of Leopold If it is for enlisted men it won't be an Order of Leopold, which even for officers would be highly unlikely. I can't think of more than a handful of examples, all of whom had other distinguishing honours. 1 hour ago, graham said: 1898 Jubilee Court Medal 1908 Jubilee Cross A Saxon enlisted man or officer would not be eligible for these awards. I agree with Vince, given that it is a post-1934 ribbonbar is I think it likely we have a red cross decoration at the end. Kind regards, Laurentius
Stogieman Posted January 11, 2024 Author Posted January 11, 2024 Good Morning Gentlemen, thanks for all the input. Isn’t the TWM a red ribbon with two white stripes?

Stogieman Posted January 11, 2024 Author Posted January 11, 2024 Thanks for the link! I see the difference so maybe a Red Cross medal after all. My thoughts were with the Albert Order he must have been promoted so maybe researchable. We shall see! In any event, a nice St. Henry Bar! More pictures when it arrives.
Stogieman Posted January 16, 2024 Author Posted January 16, 2024 Arrived today, everything looks and feels correct. Couple more images 1
Stogieman Posted January 20, 2024 Author Posted January 20, 2024 Does anyone have a clue what the Red Cross medal could be? Thanks!
VtwinVince Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 That's a tough one, could even be an Ehrenzeichen fuer deutsche Volkspflege.
Stogieman Posted May 9, 2024 Author Posted May 9, 2024 Good Morning All! Thanks to Daniel, I was able to get this little St. Henry Bar from Germany! Nothing spectacular, but it fits into my niche.
