      Thank you one and all. It is indeed Tsar Ferdinand. Glenn was right-- there is a very clear "26" inside the horn, as well as two rather odd metal "staples" on the left side of his cap. I'll post a close up scan later-- I figured it would take longer for this much action, but you guys are SHARP!

      This is an original photo, "lifted" off a matting, which I had to reduce in size to fit a monitor screen-- obviously a presentation gift type item.

      Stogie-Rick has some extremely nice Imperial photos:

      Perhaps if a clamor is raised in the Imperial Forum, he can be prevailed upon to share more--he has TONS of medal bar wearer portraits!

          Staples

          Rick,

          the two "staples" are just the securing points for the so-called "Feldzeichen" - a sprig of oakleaves or fir, a traditional decoration used on formal or ceremonial occasions.

          Regards
          Glenn

            You mean this wasn't stapled to his head so it wouldn't blow away in high wind?

            Cockade cypher is "K" for Emperor Karl (1917-18).

                WOW!

                You guys are awesome. I ventured in to see what's happening in here. I'm impressed with the scope and breadth of responses to this thread. I'll try to scan some more of my Austrians. I have some neat photos of their officers wearing impressive bars. Maybe this weekend! Thanks!
