Guest Rick Research Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Is the last photo named-- or can you tell what regiment he was in? I am assuming that the Major?/Oberstleutnant? is in a cavalry unit, immediately before the war. With those awards, if the regiment can be identified, so can he.

Harrier Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) I'm sure it must be an optical illusion, but are the soldiers in Posts 2 and 18 wearing crosses with drop-tailed eagles? Edited December 9, 2007 by Harrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Looking again under magnification, I do not think it is an illusion. Could anyone else say their opinion?These are all wonderful photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Several badges appear to have droop-tails (!). I'm sure Jacques will provide enlargements to set us straight Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 The quality of the photos posted by Jacques is so good that they are very amenable to enlargement and other editing tools, including differing light shades. contrasts, etc.Some of the drop-tails may certainly be attributable to light and angle. The eagles on the soldier in Post 2, however, really are (IMHO) of the drop-tail (or droop-tail) variety. Jacques, of course, has the original photos in hand and may be able to see something we cannot. It is, of course, only prudent to be very careful in making such a statement, but I have tried every technique of photo examination that I know and I seriously believe now that Jacques has, by this excellent thread, provided photographic proof of the existence of the droop-tail eagle Spanish Cross.If I am wrong, I am sure others will be glad to tell me and I will be glad to listen!

Jacques Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi,I had a look with a magnifier directly on the pics and I can't see nothing convincing. I'll make close up and post them here. I do think it is just an optic illusion.jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrier Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) Looking forward to seeing the enlargements! I agree that it is difficult to say for sure, but I took all the Spanish Crosses in my collection (8), all of which have the standard eagles, and I could not get the angles or curvature to match the photo in Post 2. Maybe someone else will have better success. Edited December 11, 2007 by Harrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
