Who Am I? When Was This Taken? What Is That On My Throat?

[Guest Rick Research]

(To be retitled if and when straightened out! )

I'm sure this will be perfectly obvious afterwards. Now? "General Graf SCRIBBLE"

Even at 500% I don't recognize this St. George Order shaped cross with crossed swords (or Slugs Rampant... or some other sort of creatures?) between the arms--

Could it be as obvious (but seemingly unlikely) as a Prussian Red Eagle Order 2nd Class with Swords?

Sole "clues" are that he too is from the Nassau refugee von Boos-Waldeck family's album of Cartes de Visite in Bohemia in the 1860s.

Since everyone in uniform therein was EITHER Austrian OR Nassauer... presume the latter. (?)

Just a shot in the dark, my German is a bit rusty...

You might want to look up the name: Thrien (also Von Thrien).

It's a popular name in Germany and Austria and I do believe that's what is written there.
