    WW1 Austrian Badges?

    Picked up a grouping of a soldier who fought in Italy in WW1 with the 332nd Infantry. (entire lot pictured here). There are a couple of badges I was hoping to ID. I think they're Austrian, but I'm not sure.

        You are right, this decorations and Badges are Austrian. 1st picture bottom from left. Karl-Truppen-Croos (for 3 month frontline service), patriotic medal, on wrong ribbon, Long Service Cross for 6 (VI) years without ribbon.

        2nd picture: the crowned badge is a kappenabzeichen (officers version) from Infantry Regiment 73
        proficieny-badge from the Honved-Cavallry.

          The last two Austrian cap badges in the first picture are, Isonzo Armee 1915 and a central powers unity badge. The star is from the collar of and Italian enlisted man's tunic, cape or overcoat. I very nice insignia lot! Congratulations!
