| Imperial Austrian Order of the Crown | Grand Cross; Military Order of Maria Theresa |
 |
The most prestigious and
eagerly sought after military decoration that the Austro-Hungarian
Empire could bestow was the Military Order of Maria Theresa.
The grand cross holder was distinguished by a breast order and a shoulder sash on more formal occasions. The Commanders' Cross was a neck decoration and the "Ritterkreuz" could be worn on the left breast suspended by the traditional Austrian triangular ribbon or as was quite usual during the First World War with the ribbon being attached internally to the second button of the tunic and worn suspended in that fashion. |

Militaer
- Verdienstkreuz ( Cross for Military Merit ) . It was awarded to
officers for valour and leadership.
This is a war time issue hence the crossed swords and is the 3rd class version. The cross is made of silver with hallmarks. |
