    Wondering what the star is on the breast of these old chaps coats or uniforms? Two of the portraits are of a Prussian king. One purports to be Russian, and one is unidentified. Other examples can be found but I am still unsure what it represents? I’d guess a military symbol but if the sitters hail from different countries I’m not so sure.
