Allan H. Posted March 14, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2022 The neck order is for the Commander, Order of Merit of Austria and was awarded from 1924-1938. The first medal on the chest looks like an Austrian Silver Cross of Merit. Can't see the last one well enough. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the chest from left to right first looks like the Military Merit Cross and the second like the Signum Laudis. Strange he is not wearing the Maria-Theresia Order as he earned it and its the most prestigious that Austria had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
