    Not the same quality, but then much MUCH rarer to enlisted men than commanders--

    here is Oberj?ger Gude, Hausknecht, or Meermann of J?ger Bn 5:

    Almost as obscure-- apparently dead before 1900, is this 1895-97 shot of a Bavarian artillery or pioneers officer identified only as "Major Hederer"

    back in the days when 25 years service Orders were NOT automatic!!

    Here is Theodor von Paczensky und Tenczin (1851-1932) in "disguise" as Oberst commanding Mecklenburg Fusileer Regiment 90. Looks terrible for not even 50! :speechless1: Retreaded out for WW1 and finally retired as a Generalleutnant:

    Notice how the EK2 is snugged down...

    Rick,

    That would be Major a.D. Oscar Hederer formerly a battery commander in 2. Feldartillerie-Regiment Horn. He won the EK2 for the sortie before Paris on the 29th of November 1870 as the battery commander of 3. Schwere Batterie of 2. Artillerie-Regiment Brodesser. Major Hederer, born in Landau died on the 23rd of October 1897. Note the "a.D." Tresse on the epaulette holder.
