The ribon is not correct, it is a Bavarian ribbon

the cross is Belgian: "Insigne des Enfants de Troupe de l'Ecole des Pupilles de l'Armée"

the ribon is the same as the one for the Décoration Militaire Art 4 with a tricole rosette

the first insigna's where made in 1895

this is not an official décoration, it was from the association of the Enfants de Troupe de l'Ecole des Pupilles de l'Armée

the ribon is not mounthed on the right way, the collor stiripes at the edges has to be reversed, green left, yelow on the right

Guy

No, it is a summer dress cap of a transmission corps NCO

the lather band is missing

Guy

This is a first sergant Major of the Logistics Corps

the stripes on the sholder dont have there place there, it is the rank insigna of corporal

Guy

this is correct "1e Regiment Karabinierswielrijders/1er Régiment de Carabiniers Cyclistes, the division patch indicates the 1st Infantry Division"

The crown is the insigna for the infantrie

19th Artillery on Hors

16th Division ( badge with lion)

Hi,

I just added to my Leopold collection this very nice GO Star by Wolfers

I would like your opinion

Stars made by Wolfers are usually with crowned Lions and the red enamel is translucent with specific "texture" uderneth

This one has non crowned Lion and plain red darkish enamel

Uwe and Tim,

Thanks for the replies. I would argue the quality and use of an app such in Uwe's post but this is not relevant here. I am perfectly happy with photoshop cs for my uses. What pains me is the 85/110 kb limit in the age of most servers going with almost unlimited web space (even free servers). Never the less, it simply takes considerably longer for me to shrink and downsize images in order to post them and I have no desire to purchase another camera just for the purpose of posting here.

Tim, your shots are really nice and well lit - older mavica's had surprisingly good lens and solid compression algorythm. My old canon failed few years ago otherwise I too would use it.

For your pleasure, image of my GC circa 1860 of - under 50 kb but it took me nearly 5 minutes to edit and save - call me impatient but it seems like a very long time for me. I just really hate the pixelization.

Cheers.

This is not a juwel of a grand cross but a commander cross.
