Very nice, I am trying to build a display around an engraved iron cross and a lot of research I've done on the man, he was a Rittmeister in the 25th Dragoons.My Dragoon Regt 25 officers shoulder straps .Nothing in the rank that you ask about .

I found him in the wurttemberg archives and they had some of his documents, I made a post with the findings I had at the time and a more in depth post on the WAFI fully understand now .
That is a super piece .
Did you find him in the Rang list ? A list of his other medals ?
Glenn could most likely tell you more about him .Glenn does great research work .
A pair or a single should strap would look good along with it
Epaulettes if you could locate .
An officers helmet
If I see anything I will sure let you know
Steve
