Title Saxon waist belt clasp, other ranks, model 1895
Nationality German
Period 1914
Sold

A reasonably clean piece, maker marked 'S.H.OSANG / DRESDEN / 1914'. It is also stamped 'OEL', which may stand for 'Offenberg - Engels & Co, Ludenscheid'. The size of the lettering (larger than normal) may indicate post-war ownership by this factory for use on a display board or as a sample.

There is some bruising to the box frame where the OEL mark shows through from the reverse. Nice to find a dated example.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
