Identification of officer ca. 1871 - solved: Otto von Strubberg

[ArHo]

Hallo to all,

 

I have to admit that I am stuck with the identification of this gentleman. The CDV picture was taken in Coblenz or Ems, I would guess around 1875 or little later. I add a picture of the photographers mark on the back.

Sadly the quality is not too brilliant, but I think that he wears a Pour le Mérite around the neck, on the lower breast a barely visible Ek1 1870 and on the bar, from left to right: 

EK2 1870, Hausorden Hohenzollern + Schwerter, Roter Adler Orden +bow? , ???, Kronen Orden + Schwerter, - the rest I am not sure about but looks like they are mostly campaign medals, at least for 1866 and 1870-71. 

I would be very grateful for any help regarding his identification! 

Cheers

It's interesting to see him wear "pure Prussian" on one and his full entitlement on the other photo!
