Can anyone identify the chap on the far right? I suspect he's minor royalty of some sort. Thanks.

a closer view... -
I think he is an Old Dude retired from Hussar Regiment 12 and recalled for WW1. Looks like a Major rather than Generalmajor, and the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar was waaaay too young.Comment

Rick, I've seen that style tunic in other photos. Is it an old style he just had lying around from previous service?Comment

That looks like the standard Preußen Hussar Officer's M10 Attila. Single row of braid on the cuff, side pockets, stiff collar. Very similar in cut to the pre-war Dunkelblau Interms Attila. Here is mine: http://www.kaisersbunker.com/feldgrau/tunics/fgt03.htmOriginally posted by Brian SComment

As for Feldgrau Attila, Feldgrau Dave has a beautiful one, and also Charles who we have not heard from much here also has a beauty. TonyComment

The Grand Duke didn't receive his own War Cross. His cousin Wilhelm Carl Prinz von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach did, and on the 1914 rank list he is identified as wearing the uniform of Hussar Regt. 11. He was born in 1853 (in Stuttgart - isn't that a Württemberg Crown there?) and died in 1924. He was characterized Major in 1897.
A Hussar, right age and rank, Württemberg and Saxe-Weimar connection. He would be my guess. Anyone have a picture of the prince?Comment
