Romania Romanian officer

[Markgraf]

Romanian officer during reign of Ferdinand I.

His medals are: Order of the Crown of Romania (knight), and Romanian Loyal Service Cross.

However I can't identify of his uniform. I'm nearly sure that he isn't soldier but a member of another uniformed service (police, gendarmerie, customs...)

Please help!

Hallo Markgraf

Very nice picture.

possibly the Romanian police, I have quite a few military officer pictures but that style of uniform

doesnt ring any bells off the top of my head, I will have to do some checking over the weekend.

The Order of the Crown of Romania being worn is the civil version on the 1881 Emission civil award ribbon,

and the "SERVICIU CREDINCIOSU" Cross is either a gold I Class or silver II Class,

the 1906 emission ribbon being Royal Blue with silver edgeing for both of these crosses

as well as for the gold, silver, bronze "SERVICIU CREDINCIOSU" medals.
