The General Honor Medal was established on June 25, 1902. Awards for bravery and military merit came with a rectangular clasp with crossed swords in place of the regular suspension ring. It became Saxe-Weimar's main award for non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and enlisted men, with rank determining what grade was received. The award in gold was meant for senior NCOs and Offizier-Stellvetreter, the decoration in silver for junior NCOs (Vizefeldwebeln and Unteroffiziere), and the decoration in bronze for lower ranks. This medal forms part of a collection assembled by the Memorial in the 1920s for display.
