    Very, very nice. It might have been for a staff officer. What is interest is that there is no 1870 EK2. With 5 foreign awards and no EK2 it may be possible to find him in the ranklist or DOA. It would take some work.

    Add a RAO4 and the bar is complete.

    Seems, that he got the most of his medals for civil merit.

    The Centenarmedal is a gilded private purchased &  reduced piece.

    I think the bar wasn`t made by Godet. It looks like a JHW piece.

    Have the past eight years brought a solution to this riddle? I agree with ixhs' assumption: Due to the lack of a long service award, this group is most likely to a civilian, who only happened to be a soldier during the Franco-Prussian war.

     

    My best guess would be something like a factory owner. Given none of the foreign awards is extremely uncommon, I think it's difficult or impossible to find him via the Deutscher Ordens-Almanach.

     

    But who knows, this might be solved by chance, if maybe a named photograph with exactly this group in wear appears. My fingers are crossed!
