This is a very fine medal bar that represents the Kingdom of Saxony. The three decorations are listed below from left to right:
Friedrich August Cross in Bronze. This is the Saxon equivalent of the Iron Cross.
Nine-Years Long-Service Award – Saxony.
Hindenburg Cross with Swords for Combatants.
It is a very clean, solid medal bar. The decorations are all quite pleasing. Only very minor soiling shows on the ribbons. The medal bar’s reverse is covered in black felt.

This is a four-place medal bar. From left to right are the
*1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class.
*Friedrich Order Knight’s Cross 1st Class with Swords – Württemberg. It is a fine example, with only a little scuffing on its enamel arms. This is a very high level award and is more frequently seen in the 2nd Class than the 1st Class. I actually thought this was a 2nd Class until corrected by a sharp eyed reader.
*Hindenburg Cross for Combatants with Swords.
*Landwehr Reserve Long Service Award – Württemberg.
This is a fetching medal bar. Both the decorations and the ribbons are in fine condition.

This is a very interesting two-place medal bar from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It has an unusual decoration combination, one of which requires a special interest and appreciation. From left to right we see these medals:
*Long Service Award 2nd Class – Twelve Years Service. Three levels exist for enlisted men and NCO’s Long Service Awards. The 1st Class is for fifteen years and is cross-shaped. The circular 2nd Class is for twelve years and is gilt. The 3rd Class is also circular and silver-toned. Each one has the Saxon Coat-of-Arms on the obverse. On the reverse, each sports its numbers of years in Roman numerals. This medal is indeed gold-toned and displays “XII” on the reverse. The green ribbon is for Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
*Silver Herzog Carl Eduard Service Medal. The silver medal from this Duchy was the 2ndClass award as there was a Gold level of this award. It was awarded both before and during WW I. During WW I it was awarded with swords and/or clasps for the various years of WW I. The magenta and green ribbon again indicates Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
It is a fine medal bar. The unusual part about it is the Twelve-Year Long Service award. While not always the case, the twelve-year award usually was for police officers and officials, not for the military. The military award was typically for either nine or fifteen years. It is possible that this award was awarded to a military NCO. It is just another detail for appreciative speculation. Both medals and their ribbons are in very fine condition. The horizontal pin is in place.
