The Saxon Albert Order (Albrechts-Orden) was created 31 December 1850 by King Frederick Augustus II of to commemorate Albert III, Duke of Saxony (known as Albert the Bold) and was to be awarded to anyone who had served the state well, for civil virtue, science and art. Beginning in 1866, the Order of Albert was bestowed upon military personnel for merit in the field and to indicate this, a pair of crossed swords was added to the medal. Very often, non-Saxons also received this award. This is a very attractive Imperial German order that displays beautifully. 8228
