    Thanks for posting this great image! Is there a 'ghost' of a 4 armed cross under the Order of Merit? If so, the ladder ribbon probably may be an Austrian Militärverdienstkreuz 3rd class--especially considering the EK. Arts/Sciences medal has a large diameter planchet about size of Merit Order outer wreath so part of the disc should be visible if decoration is Arts/Sciences. The second to last medal is more likely a Ferdinand-Maria Louisa marriage commemorative medal [blue ribbon w/red edges]; Alex 1879 ribbon similar to Bulgarian Order of Civil Merit [white edged in green then purple]. Lapel pin is a Bulgarian veteran's society badge--don't remember which society but described in the Bulgarian badge book by Petrov.
