    Chris,

    I think it's the silver merite cross of Bulgaria!??? Maybe like this one:

    Order of Military Merit 1891 Silver Merit Cross :: Bulgaria :: Foreign Medals and Decorations :: Liverpool Medals :: Military Medals :: Medal Dealers :: Medals for Sale

    At first I was thinking this one (but the ribbon don't match): Ehrenkreuz (Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen) mit Schwertern 1876

    For the rest we need close-ups! 2014.gif

    The regiment is (maybe) the 7. Thüringische Inf.-Regt. Nr.96 IR 96 – GenWiki

    Is there a "96" on the shoulderboards!?

    Best regards,

    Jens

    The spange appears to be the Reuss 3rd Class Long Service Award for 9 years with the cypher of Heirich XIV. Reuss stuck with these up to 1917, several years after the other states had gone away from the spanges.

    The Bulgarian Military Merit Order is on the regular Order ribbon, not the war service [Military Bravery Order]ribbon. Possibly a pre-war award?
