Hi everybody,

I would like to share with you one of my friend'ribbon bar. I would like to buy it. So tell me what do you think about it. My friend has forgotten to scan the reverse of the ribbon bar.

I appreciate any comments

An outstanding bar to a Junior Officer from a Saxon Duchy? The Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt HOwX is very, very hard to find on ribbon bars!

Hi Rick,

I have another Schwarzburg ribbon on a ribbon bar. I think I will buy it. As soon as it arrive I will post a better scan.

Please find my ribbon bar with SE3X

jumping I'd say that was an officer from Inf Rgt 95 (Saxe-Meiningen, pair in the middle of the first ribbon bar), since Inf Rgt 71 (Schwarzburg) was brigaded with it-- makes sense for the combination.

I can't say, now that things have dried up, that I have any "source of supply," but in the Golden Years (1980s), my sources were, accidentally, split between Hamburg and Bavaria-- so I never saw these small Thuringian states' awards much.

If only Erhard Roth would do the -Meiningen and -Coburg WW1 rolls, the way he did Saxe-Altenburg's!!!!

Is that style of swords used with many awards? They look bigger than most. Nice bars. Mike

Rick, what do you suppose it would take to encourage Herr Roth to do the Meinengen rolls? As you know I have a vested interest in that action.

Hi everybody,

Have a look of a pre-1934 ribbon bar from Schwarzburg.
