    German and Austrian Officers with Imperial Russia Awards


    Recommended Posts

    Nick,

    I don't have the answer (yet). My first impression, is that it is likely a former officer of Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Kaiser Alexander Nr. 1. However, the bar has no long service decoration, so either an active officer who retired before completing a full career or even a reserve officer. There are not too many individuals in 1871 who had an EK2 and an RA3X and presumably the RAO4 and the Persian Sun and Lion came later. I am looking!

    Regards

    Glenn

    WOW! That was fast.
    Thank you very much for information. I am collecting paintings on Franco-Prussian war and based on general awards he took part in Franco-Prussian war. But I had no idea who he were, not until now.
    With kind regards,
    Glenn

    Where did you get the photo of Dr. Karl Brust?  He was my grandfather. I never say this photo of him. I have many photos and parts of his uniform. Have attached some photos

    To tell you the truth - I don`t remember where I got this scan. 

    Guess this photo was sold at some auction.

    I have many photos and parts of his uniform.

    Do you have his medal bar? 

    Regards,

    Nick
