Still wondering what picture B is. I am wondering if it is Byzantine or greekish from emblem on belt?

Martin will you give us a clue?

 

[lightbob]

Is B a Tyrolean resistance fighter against the Napoleonic lead French/Bavarian invasion. Andreas Hofer was a leader of the resistance but is it him, don't know.

If you are correct it might not be from the 1800's. I keep seeing the clothes to be earlier like 1400's? Maybe I need glasses.
