one more unknown medal bar wearer...

[HeikoGrusdat]

Next one of the unknown wearers of interesting medal bars.... now a very nice combination of prussian line-up with EK2 1870 + 25y oakleaves , red eagle 4 , 25y service cross and KDM 1870 with one clasp and then 2 foreigners with Austria iron crown and Persia sun and lion order !!!

Photo is taken in Potsdam / Spandau = Berlin , must be between 1895 and 1897

I think this should be possible , again it is my problem with the missing rank lists before 1900 maybe someone will find him

thank you very much!!!

Thousands thanks for all these names - if you ever want to park yourself in central germany for some days you are welcome in my house !!!
