5th Bavarian Artillery NCO

[USN]

Good evening gentlemen,

I have had this grouping for some time now and have slowly been tracking down the missing components from the portrait and it's almost complete, when I bought this group a while ago it consisted of the uniform, portrait and some miscellaneous photos of the unit, I've added the belt, medal (which i believe to be the wrong one but it works for now) and engraved sword to the display, i also had the portrait and frame professionally restored as it was damaged when it was mailed here from France, as always thoughts and opinions are welcome!

Many Thanks,
Will

A very nice tribute to a soldier otherwise long forgotten.

Great work putting all of that together! That is a gorgeous sword blade, a lot of times the blue-ing fades or gets scratched.

I am still on the hunt for the proper shooting chord and a single mount saint Michael's medal if anyone happens to have them.

I can post some close ups of the blade, it is a nice piece but unfortunately the blade has alot of corrosion damage especially at the tip.

Right now my main objectives would be the bavarian artillery chord with 2 shells and a single mount silver saint Michael's medal

Also the appropriate bavarian NCOs sword knot and possibly a visor that resembles the one in the photo.

What a great grouping!

Thank you! I've had it for some time and I have finally made some good headway on it.
