BalkanCollector Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Amazing set of photos! Keep 'em comin'!
Farkas Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Agreed! Great pictures thanks. This mans trio caught my eye amongst all the bling... Am I mistaken (often am) or is he, in fact, wearing two 1908 Jubilee medals? One on the end on a civil ribbon and the one in the middle on a military ribbon? Personally I’ve not seen that before.... tony
Ian Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Tony, It certainly looks like he is wearing teo Jubilee crosses. I have not seen that before. Hopefully some one will be able to shed some light on this mystery. Cheers, Ian

Farkas Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Hi Gents that last one is a ‘funny’ one isn’t it. not everyone in the crowd looks that happy.... and i would have asked if it’s ‘Kaiser Karl’ as well, certainly looks like. ~~~~~<< Hello1812 Overture ... is there anything at all on the reverse of this last one please? tony 20 hours ago, Bayern said: Yes ,they are miners , what is going on in the second pic is very odd . a clown holding a portrait of some high ranking person and a polish peasant dressed 19th century style. by the Austrian uniforms the pic is from 1917 or 1918 13 hours ago, Von Thronstahl said: Isn˙t that Karl l ?

Farkas Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Hi Gents Sadly. nothing on the back of either of these. First one- I'm guess it’s not that clear in the picture but I’m thinking there is a badge tucked in between a 1908 jubilee and a red ribboned merit cross ? In real world, with an eyepiece, it’s looks like the badge has an Hungarian crown with the same overall design that I’ve seen on belt buckles... ~~~~~ and this next one looks to me like the medal has been hung on an existing ribbon bar thread already on the uniform.? is it a plain merit cross on bravery ribbon? is that likely as a first medal for a man of his rank? i recall, in a recent thread, mention that studio props (equipment/uniform) were provided sometimes for use ...... anyway - here he is... Hope you like Gents tony
Farkas Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Hi Gents More than a few with silver bravery, bronze bravery and Karl cross combinations... On the back row, right side, to me it looks like he has a large silver too.... and this Hungarian liked badges! I think 3 or 4 of them on his cap something on his right pocket flap And one on his left breast pocket - even with eye piece not sure if it’s an 8 or 9 on it. tony
Farkas Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Hi Gents He might already be on here but just in case.... tony
