Ian Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hi, Can any tell me what the last medal this Oberst is wearing please. I thought it might have been the 1809-1909 Tiroler Jubilee Veterans Medal, but I pretty certain that is not that one. Thanks, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Could the medal mystery be the: Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an dies Silberne Hoch-Zeit des Herzogs Alfred 1909'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi Ian certainly looks like one... the ribbon as a trifold would correspond I believe. And as foreign award it's placing would also seem correct to me..... tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Farkas, Many thanks for the reply. I am more convinced than ever that it is the said medal. Regards, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Alfred Herzog von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha was the Regiment-Inhaber of Infantry Regiment 84 from 1894 until 1900. So my mystery Oberst was probably serving in IR 84 in 1899 when the medal was issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
