    The beautiful carved bust is proving somewhat tricky to identify,

    even looking at all the names of the families recorded on the tablets

    so far I have not been able to connect a specific name to the bust,

    (probably its staring me right in the face) :blush:

    The carved medal bar would indicate a veteran of the 1877/78 Independance War.

    While the breast insignia and medals on the chest & tunic opening shows

    high awards from the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef.
