    Help ID imperial officer

    Hi friends, requesting your help identifying rank, regiment, service record or any info you can shed light on this soldier named as Jean Baptiste Hengartner, if I am reading it correctly, Constanz (Baden)1858 from an old oil painting.
    Oil needs restoration work and a better frame. Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and ideas with me.
    Please let me know if you need better shots.
    Thank you.
    Choose to have a great day!

          Johan Baptist Hengartner (1830-1895) is the artist. I'm afraid that's all I can tell you.

            Gendarmerie

            Hi Vellocino,

            I am afraid an ID will probably be impossible. The subject is a Gendarm of the 1st District (Konstanz) of the Grand Ducal Baden Gendarmerie-Corps.

            Regards
            Glenn

              Wow, great info! Thank you both for your input. Dumb of me, not recognizing name as artist name. Police uniform great to know too!
              I appreciate.
