    Post #138: Do you think that is the sash and breast star of the Stanislaus Order? The portrait must date from 1827 (introduction of the Bavarian Ludwig Order) and the introduction of the Waffenrock in 1848? Unfortunately I only have Bavarian Militair-Handbücher dated 1836, 1838, 1840 and 1849 so he might be a bit tricky. He is a Generalmajor in this portrait with a French Legion of Honour in last place.

    Hi Glenn!

    I am not sure about breast star, but sash definetely looks like St.Stanislaus (and he is wearing it (and breast star too) correctly!)

    Let`s examine these early embroidered breast stars ;)

    This one is from collection of Moscow Historical Museum
