Very serious looking young man. It looks like he went to his local "Hardware Hank" store to get his medals mounted.Comment

He looks Bulgarian.
Isn't that a Bulgarian War Merit Cross on the far right? I was thinking they used a bar similar to that on a civilian suit jacket. The bar goes under the lapel and the medal hang out. ?? Ammersee

Nice Saxon frackspange, Ammersee.Comment

Thanks, but unfortunately I don't own it. Just a pic from my files. I kept it because the spange was so unusual. Am I correct that this type of spange was worn under the lapel of a jacket? That's the only thing I could figure it was for.
The more I look at the bar in the above photo the more it looks like it was made to string Austrian tri-folds on. The boy looks kind of young to have earned those awards. AmmerseeComment

That Saxon bar is of the more unusual Saxon-type ribbon mounting, and would have been worn under the lapel on civil jacket. Really great bar. I think the kid in the first picture might just be "dressing up" with that spange.Comment
