Kev in Deva Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) 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) 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. Kevin in Deva. :beer: Edited April 2, 2010 by Kev in Deva
