Unidentified Unknown nationality soldier

[Markgraf]

Hi for everyone!

This CDV made in Vienna by photographer Georg Wassmuth. The soldier is definetly not Austro-Hungarian, but I've no idea about his nationality...please help!

Could he be French?

Doesn't the shape of the crown scream Belgium?

I would not know exactly what nationality this uniform could be, It could be Belgian or Greek, But most likely; NOT FRENDH;

Let's hope we get the exact answer....

Best regards

Bonjour,

Here is a slightly later Greek Cavalry Officer in undress :

Cap style is different - more modern, but my Cabinet Photo is likely c. 1895-1900.

Your CDV bears a likeness to King Gorgios 1st btw.

I'm not 100% here, but that could be him - and then a CDV from anywhere in Europe would make much sense.

Salutations,
Jerome

Imperial Mexican?

Serbian, Croatian, Romanian, Hungary (Husarenregiment Graf von Hadik Nr. 3) They look similar to me:

I'll try to grab some other pics

Up to now the Greek seems most probably to me but the cap badge...
