Rogi Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Is the breast Star A St. Stanislaus Breast Star? What it reminded me of inititally, I'll try to take a closer look and see :) Edited March 16, 2014 by Rogi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Doesn't it look a bit more like the russian order of St. Alexander Nevsky? /Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogi Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Very cool combo How did he obtain such a Breast Star, seems a rather large order for a diplomatic service, but it is very interesting ? :D Edited March 16, 2014 by Rogi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yes, it is the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky. The last three medals on the medal bar, after the French Legion d'Honneur, are the Ottoman gold and silver Imtiaz Medals and the gold Liakat Medal. Below these, behind the Hohenzollern breast star, is the Ottoman Order of Nishan-e Iftihar with Brilliants. The sash is for the Order of the Black Eagle. Here is his entry from the 1914 rank list: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
