Fritz Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 The clasp could be for the 1st class. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesT Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 The consensus seems to be that the Saxons wore the 1st class on a small pin direct onto the uniform and the 2nd class on the ribbon like this. But yet to see photographic/documentary evidence 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
