Austria-Hungary The Honved 2nd Lieutenant Who Had Everything--But Who's Count-ing?

[Naxos]

All I could find on him:

"HARDEGG Dominik, Graf

geb. 24.10.1846, Wien

gest. 20.6.1924, Wien

Gutsbesitzer, besonders mit Pferdezucht befasst.

Hatte bereits 1878, 1883 und 1884 vergeblich im Landgemeindenwahlkreis

Gro? Enzersdorf kandidiert, bevor er vom Gro?grundbesitz gew?hlt wurde.

Bei der Reichsratswahl 1891 wurde er von Garnhaft (s.d.) geschlagen. Im

Herrenhaus schloss er sich der Mittelpartei an."

I doubt that we have lost many between the years. Most of these people are court employees and medical doctors. No counts in this lot. If the text on the back is the correct name for the guy on the other side...

Yes, it does rather look like the erased name might have been erased for a good reason!

This would have been "easy" if he was a GERMAN because German army rank lists (all 4 Royal armies) each listed ALL Orders that someone had. But With the various TYPES of Austro-Hunarian "armies" each having their own SEPARATE lists...

and no Hungarian ones...

and NO FOREIGN AWARDS LISTED ...

this guy may just have to "go to sleep" for a while before the happy day SOMETHING he is wearing leads to SOMEPLACE wheer his OTHER awards can be cross-checked.

Thanks for all the interest and help-- I'm lost amongst these Hapsburg types!

An interesting observation maybe:

The only recipient in my 1882 and 1900 lists with a military occupation is Alexander Nadosy von Nadas (Major-General)

All the rest are hofrat, geheimerat, professor and similar...
