Fine looking (Garde?) officer.....

[Chris Boonzaier]

I recently picked this up... I assume it is a Garde officer of some sort?

[The Prussian]

Hi Chris!

The facts:

Major, white Garde-Litzen, prussian buttons, swedish cuffs, spiked helmet (no artillery), non-white base underneath the collar-Litzen. (red, yellow or maybe blue)

I can´t recognize something upon the shoulder boards.

The sword could be a cavalry-officer-sword.

What about the 2nd cross? Ribbon maybe red-white-red = Hanseatic Cross of Bremen? (Just a guess)

I´d say:

A Major of Garde-Train-Bataillon (i.e. one of the units, which were set-up by the Garde-Train)

[Bayern]

Hello : He is not an infantryman nor a granadier , he carries a sabre and not the typical m1889 Degen . artilleryman is not because of his pointed helmet . so a Train officer is the most probable .
