Meissen Jäger-Battalion Nr.12 Saxony Centennial Plate # 1083
This plate is now available and is in
beautiful condition, it does have a minor glazing flaw to the front and
priced accordingly. I took the description from my Meissen Gallery
section. The plate is a very attractive example and a nice addition for
the "Forestry/ Hunting" Collector.
For well over a century
Meissen has issued commemorative plates for important historic events.
Among the most favored were those manufactured to commemorate the
history of Saxony's regiments and other military establishments. This
particular piece celebrates the centennial of Königl. Sächs. 1
Jäger-Battalion Nr 12's establishment.
The unit was the senior of the two Saxon
Jäger-Battalions, both formed in 1809, during the height of the
Napoleonic Wars. Königl. Sächs. 1 Jäger-Battalion Nr 12 garrisoned at
Freiberg, where it was attached to the Saxon XII ArmeeKorps.
Although the main focus of this site is 3rd Reich, I cannot help but
to reach out on occasion to grab an exceptional piece outside of that
era, and will eventually spread out to capture pieces that are worthy of
mention. The plate is hand painted in a light green with shades of
black, green was the primary color of all Jäger-Battalions. The top of
the plate bears the dates 1809-1909, which represent the centennial of
the units establishment. Between the dates is the Saxon Coat of Arms.
The center of the plate features a stag's skull and antlers, emblematic of the Jäger-Battalions. Above the skull is a cross, and set atop the large antlers is the Kingdom of Saxony's crown. On the left and right of the plate are oak leaves with acorns and laurel leaves with berries, and to the bottom are the letters K.S.1.J.B, which stand for Königl. Sächs. 1 Jäger-Battalion Nr 12.
The rear of the plate has the typical and unmistakable crossed swords of the centuries old Meissen firm. Being 100 years old does not show in the slightest, and it is of the highest quality and a real looker.Meissen Jäger-Battalion Nr.12 Saxony Centennial Plate.
