Gustav Dresler

[Komtur]

This picture of a Beamter shows on the back Gustav Dresler. Can anybody confirm this name by his decorations? Can´t find one in the DOA 1908/9, State and Court 1900 and Siekmann 1883.

Regards, Komtur.

Sorry, there is a Gustav Dresler with KO4 in the DOA 1908/9, but without the KDM 1870 and the CM. He is a Polizeiinspektor. Could it be him?

Yes, I think that is a senior Polizei uniform. He may not be in a Hof- und Staatshandbuch because police authorities were often local. I don't find him in the Prussian HuSHB for 1893, so either he was in the Reichs HuSHB (Reichslande Elsass-Lothringen) or... he was a local official never listed.

That's an interesting medal bar because he has the noncombatant 1870 medal, which means he was in France, probably under fire, but not a Waffenträger then. If he had been a stay-at-home, the ribbon would be the combatant type.

What city was this photo taken in? If it's Colmar, that'd match the Orders Almanac official born in 1842. :beer:
