    Agreed! Great pictures thanks.

    This mans trio caught my eye amongst all the bling...

    Am I mistaken (often am) or is he, in fact, wearing two 1908 Jubilee medals?

    One on the end on a civil ribbon and the one in the middle on a military ribbon?

    Personally I’ve not seen that before....

    Tony,

    It certainly looks like he is wearing teo Jubilee crosses. I have not seen that before.

    Hopefully some one will be able to shed some light on this mystery.

    Cheers, 

    Ian

    这个人不是士兵,但他这么佩戴也很有趣。

    Yes ,they are miners , what is going on in the second pic is very odd . a clown holding a portrait of some high ranking person and a polish peasant dressed 19th century style. by the Austrian uniforms the pic is from 1917 or 1918

    Isn˙t that Karl l ?

    Hi Gents

    that last one is a ‘funny’ one isn’t it.

    not everyone in the crowd looks that happy....

    and i would have asked if it’s ‘Kaiser Karl’ as well, certainly looks like.

    Hello1812 Overture ... is there anything at all on the reverse of this last one please?

    Hi Gents

    Sadly. nothing on the back of either of these. 

    First one- I'm guess it’s not that clear in the picture but I’m thinking there is a badge tucked in between a 1908 jubilee and a red ribboned merit cross ?

    In real world, with an eyepiece, it’s looks like the badge has an Hungarian crown with the same overall design that I’ve seen on belt buckles...

    ~~~~~

    and this next one looks to me like the medal has been hung on an existing ribbon bar thread already on the uniform.?

    is it a plain merit cross on bravery ribbon?

    is that likely as a first medal for a man of his rank?

    i recall, in a recent thread, mention that studio props (equipment/uniform) were provided sometimes for use ......

    anyway - here he is...

    More than a few with silver bravery, bronze bravery and Karl cross combinations...

    On the back row, right side, to me it looks like he has a large silver too....

    this Hungarian liked badges!

    I think 3 or 4 of them on his cap

    something on his right pocket flap 

    And one on his left breast pocket - even with eye piece not sure if it’s an 8 or 9 on it.
