Stogieman Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The last one may be Austro-Hungarian. Maybe one of these: 1898 Jubilee Court Medal 1908 Jubilee Cross Order of Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Good Morning Gentlemen, thanks for all the input. Isn’t the TWM a red ribbon with two white stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 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.

VtwinVince Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 That's a tough one, could even be an Ehrenzeichen fuer deutsche Volkspflege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
