Austria-Hungary Veterans chain with miniatures?

[Iver]

Probably a chain of an A-H veteran? From medals only WM1873 and service cross for XII years service...

..reverse... service cross is from two pieces...

That's a delightful little thing-- never seen anything like that before!

I cannot read what the Saint George design medal in the middle says-- is it some sort of local veterans' association medal?

As the Germans say, "sehr h?bsch." :love:

Incriptions on the St. George medallion:

S.GEORGIUS EQUITUM PATRONUS

INTEMPESTATE SECURITAS

Hello!

Sorry for the bad news, but I think it's a "fantasy-chain".

There are only two real miniatures. The second miniature is an Austrian war medal, and the fifth is a military long service cross.

I think, the first "thing" is a star from a german shoulder strap(might be post war).

Third: star from a hungarian shoulder strap

Fourth: St. Georg coin. You can find it, some numismatics site.

Sixth: a simple badge with austrian coat of arms.

Gobag: Thanks for reply. I knew the other one were not miniatures, therefor I wrote only about two miniatures. I dont think its a fantasy chain. The old soldier has just added some more "badges", to make the chain look better.. But thats only my opinion..

Right-- patriotic kitsch. But very nice with the lions' heads instead of a plain lapel chain.
