Mike Dwyer Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 No, not navy. The Impreial Austiran Navy wore s pretty standard looking dark blue navy uniform. I don't know what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'm no expert in Austrian ODMs... But isn't he wearing his awards backwards? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Robert.Interesting photo. I am a long way from my reference material at the moment but he appears to be a regular officer of the KuK. The fancy braid on the cuffs was worn by some units. Hopefully I can do better when I get home next week.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The braid on the sleeve seems to indicate Honved .The hat looks like a Pelzm?tze with the dual A-H Wappen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Not a diplomat? I thought the second and third medals were Saxon and saxe-Weimar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Tom Y,I was leaning towards Honved myself but there are other Infantry units besides the Hoved that had braid like that on their sleeves.Ulsterman,The hat is not of the type worn by Diplomats. They wore the Beamten type hat often referred to as the fore and aft hat. The Foreign medals are interesting.Regards,Gordon Edited April 11, 2009 by Gordon Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
