Homerjey Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Wow, very nice!!!!! Do you know the carrier? Regards Thomas
JapanX Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 Hi Thomas, unfortunately I don`t. Regards, Nick
Glenn J Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Nick, I don't have the answer (yet). My first impression, is that it is likely a former officer of Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Kaiser Alexander Nr. 1. However, the bar has no long service decoration, so either an active officer who retired before completing a full career or even a reserve officer. There are not too many individuals in 1871 who had an EK2 and an RA3X and presumably the RAO4 and the Persian Sun and Lion came later. I am looking! Regards Glenn

Glenn J Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Hi Glenn, you do not stay unknown with a rack like that! Char. Generalleutnant Hermann v. Gerhardt (1831-1909), commanding 57. Infanterie-Brigade at the time of retirement in 1888. Regards Glenn
GlennC Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 WOW! That was fast. Thank you very much for information. I am collecting paintings on Franco-Prussian war and based on general awards he took part in Franco-Prussian war. But I had no idea who he were, not until now. With kind regards, Glenn
BERLINER47 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Where did you get the photo of Dr. Karl Brust? He was my grandfather. I never say this photo of him. I have many photos and parts of his uniform. Have attached some photos cheers, Berliner47
JapanX Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 Just now, BERLINER47 said: Where did you get the photo of Dr. Karl Brust? To tell you the truth - I don`t remember where I got this scan. Guess this photo was sold at some auction. I have many photos and parts of his uniform. Do you have his medal bar? Regards, Nick
