Petsamo - Major (with WW1 medals + Austro-Hungarian Pilot Badge)
 
Recently a batch of pictures from Petsamo and Trondheim were sold. Amongst those, those of this Major (name unknown) who was awarded quite a lot of WW1 medals and do seems to have received the Austro-Hungarian Field Pilot Badge (1917).

Is this man the same with the Pelzmantel on the other pictures?

Does anyone know his identity? Who is he ?

I also saw these interesting photos. This officer received only AH decorations in WW1.

"AH" signified "Austro-Hungarian"

look at this: Austro-Hungarian Orders and Decorations 1848-1918


best regards
