I am not big on A-H medals, but the ribbon of your item is completely different to the ribbon of the medal worn by the soldier in the studio photo.

Yes I know but I sow a lot of A-H medals and orders that are the same but have different ribbons.

There were strict regulations as which order has to have what kind of ribbon. Therefore, of all variations, only one should be the correct one.
I will try to inquire about this particular medal. Gen. Dénes |

The one that the man in the photo is wearing is on the civilian ribbon.
The other (the one you bought) has a wrong ribbon (the ribbon of the Tirol medal). This post has been edited by dragos03 on December 17, 2005 03:25 pm |

What about this soldier? What's his branch and rank?
On the back of the photo is written: "To remember the 1916 campaign, i took this photo just before going to the front. Constanta, 27 Septembrie 1916"  |

Only cavalry and artillery soldiers wore black trousers (breeches). Cavalrymen had high riding boots. So, the man in the photo might be an artillery private because he wears infantry puttees. The piping of his tunic should be black. The foot artillerymen carried M. 1890 artillery daggers (similar to the bayonet of the M. 1893 Mannlicher rifle). The artillery cap (“Capela”) – which is not fully visible - was decorated with two crossed gun barrels, made in black cloth, heaving above the number of the regiment. The colour of the puttees should be the same as the trousers, but during WW1 soldiers frequently wore different items of equipment and uniform.

I am wondering which Army branch was the soldier shown at left in?
Perhaps he wears a formal cavalry uniform.  [from eBay] Gen. Dénes |

It’s a Lieutenant of Engineers (Geniu) in full dress uniform (with fringed epaulettes): dark-blue tunic, black collar piped red with embroidered flamed grenade. The uniform is M.1895 pattern worn until 1912, but according the officer physiognomy it seems to be shot during the first decade of 20th Century. |
