A nice Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha 2-medal-bar

[JensF.]

Wonderful detailed EKII 1914 with makers mark "CD". This mark I always know with "800" silver mark, but this one is without!

The Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha Merit Medal of the Ernestinische Hausorden. Marked with die-maker "MvK" (= M. von Kawaczynski) and silver mark "Silber 990".

Ahh... you need a nice Ritterkreuz 2nd Class with swords to fit on there!

[Daniel Krause]

Rick is right, some moron removed the RK and replaced it with that medal.

Are you sure? Maybe this soldier got that medal before the war and later the EKII.

[Rick Research]

Nope-- it doesn't "fit" right and looks silly halfway up the ribbon: the ring over the crown on a Knight will make the balls on the bottom arm of the cross line up nice and neat with the bottom of the EK.

Now, Herr Zinkenmeister , show us very nice closeups of the silver content and maker hallmarks, which I have never seen!

[JensF.]

Hmmmm... thats bad. I don't want to mount the only knight 2 with X on that medal-bar. Making a pic of the silver mark would be difficult with a scanner.
