Von Thronstahl Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I´ve bought this photo recently. I am not familiar with French uniforms, nor medals. Is this army uniform or uniform of a government official? Considering the medals he is more of a scientist than soldier. I would be very grateful if you guys can help me with medals too. I hope I guessed them all but there is a big possibility I didn´t. 1. France; Order of Academic palms - Knight 2. Norway: Order of St. Olaf, Knight ???? 3. France; Possibly Order of Agriciltural merit ( ribbon is not the same) ??? 4. Imperial Order of the Dragon of Annam Knight 5. Tunisia: Order of Glory (Nishan al-Iftikhar), Officer 6. Montenegro; The Order of Danilo I , Officer Edited September 6, 2018 by Von Thronstahl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Looks like you got them right... No. 2 is definitely the Norwegian Order of St. Olav (Knight). No. 3 can be several French orders, I think. Not sure if the Order of Danilo is Knight grade? /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 von Thronstahl, The uniform appears to be for a diplomat. Medals from a number of different countries would tend to support this fact. Regards, Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy Duck Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 it should be lower ranking diplomatic/consular uniform. The grades of those orders indicate the lowest rank of the holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
