Netherlands Dutch Carte de Visite's

[Herr General]

Could his unknown breast star be the Belgian Order of the Crown?

It looks like the star awarded for Commander 1. class (aka Grand Officer) and - although my Dutch is non-existing - I would interpret "Commandeur en groot-officier" in the article as Grand Officer.

Hi Mike, I think that it is indeed the Grandofficer star from the Belgian Order of the Crown. http://users.skynet.be/hendrik/

Commandeur en groot-officier translates as Commander and Grandofficer but mistakes in the grades of higher foreign awards are often made in old dutch newspapers.

[Great Dane]

BTW, even the Persian order is listed correctly in the article. 4th grade = 5 arms, and that's what he is wearing...

Thanks Mike, your right. So know only this man remains. I have searched the newspapers archives for hours without a result!

Here's a close-up of the bar from W.G. van Hoogenhuyze. Interesting to see that he kept the Austrian ribbons in the typical Austrian style.

Knight 4th class MWO

Cross for important war actions with 3 clasps

National sportmedal for ?? times (would this follow the rosette as being the 2nd time?? I thought that the 3rd time was silver and the 5th time would be a gold medal. Thus the rosette might be 2nd time, 4th time and 6th time??)
