Germany Saxony 1866 German Civil War Commemorative Cross for Combatants

Imperial Germany - Kingdom of Saxony: 
Commemorative Cross for the 1866 German 
Civil War (War vs Prussia).

Friedrich August's medal, which closely 
resembels the combatants ribbon).
The Cross was instituted in 1867 by King 
Johann for all soldiers who had participated 
in the War regardless of whether they had 
seen action or not.
The war was fought between the German 
Confederation under the leadership of the 
Austrian Empire and its German allies on 
one side (Bavaria, Saxony, Wurttemberg 
etc) and the Kingdom of Prussia with its 
German allies (Mecklenburg, Oldenburg, 
Anhalt, Brunswick, Hanseatic Cities etc) and 
Italy on the other.
The War resulted in Prussian dominance over 
the German states.
In the Italian unification process, this is called 
the Third Independence War.
