    Can anyone identify these medals?

    Most likely turn of the century German (Saxon?) medals? Thanks a lot for your help.

    Medal to the left looks to be Saxony LS medal. Medal to the right is KDM 1870/71 for combatant.

          The clasp in the middle is Saxon Landwehr Long Service Decoration, version awarded until 1913

              ... and the cross is possibly a membership cross of a veteran assocciation, with regiments clasps. But not 100 % sure with this picture.

                Actually, believe it or not, I think that is a US Sharpshooters badge. Here is the entire photo. I found it on German ebay and could not pass it up as it was so strange. The only thing I can guess is the man served in the German/Saxon army during the Franco Prussian war, migrated to the US then joined the US army. Just thought it was very unusual to see German decorations worn in a portrait photo of a US soldier during this time period.
