    Unit is probably not identifiable at this point. Probably a medical officer, like a Stabsarzt or Stabsvet. Possibly a Beamter in the Etappe like a Post- or Telegraphinspektor or Intendanturrat. These were the typical recipients of the Franz Joseph Orden on the ribbon of the Bravery Medal.

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    Dave, thanks for the info. I figured it was a medical officer of some sort when I first saw it.

    I believe it is the Bulgarian Military Merit Order 4th Class with Crown.

    Correct--different in that it is mounted on a Bravery Order ribbon [signifying direct action war service] rather than the usual ribbon [for military merit] though the badge lacks a [war service] wreath. Suspect whomever mounted it simply used 'on-hand' ribbon stock. That this badge lacks the wreath buttresses a medical or other non-direct combat officer recipient theory.
    ​A very fine bar!!
