Djedj Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi,Here's a late 1860s / early1870s CDV that's kept puzzling me : I'd like very much to identify that General and his regiment.Maybe identifying his orders and medals wouls be a good start ?Is he sporting the Ehrenritterkreuz of the Johanniterorden ?Does his bar begin with a Red Eagle with Swords ?Thanks for your help !Cheers,Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi Jerome,The first answer would be yes as the maltese cross is also visible below his belt.The second would be NO as it's a red eagle without swords.Kind regards,Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 It appears to be a Red Eagle with Swords on Ring but NO lower class with Swords-- and I have no idea how that would have been possible. The SECOND award appears to be a Prussian Hohenzollern House Order 3rd Class, which would be quite unusual indeed and the most likely to identify this Major-Oberstleutnant-Oberst.

Djedj Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Many thanks gentlemen !Re. his rank I'd think him a General : his cuff braiding might be too wide to fit the Field-officer pattern ?Likely "? la suite" of a Hussar Regiment ?Cheers,Jerome Edited May 1, 2007 by Djedj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
