[edit]

The image of a young, dark-haired male sitting in quality northern Albanian clothing is obviously not of Sokol Baci. This person wears Montenegrin clothing here. He is a member of the nobility, the Cyrillic script saying "K/N...ević". The photos date to much later than 1876, perhaps closer to 1900. The two individuals are not resembling eachother. I have found an image of Sokol Baci which seems to have been taken after his arrival in Montenegro, see here.--Zoupan 00:34, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The young dark haired individual is Sokol Baci. You can see that he has the same "Ottoman weapons" in both the younger photo and the photo that you added when he immigrated to Montenegro. You can see that the pattern of his jacket and pants is the same. He also has the same facial structure, granted he has aged in the 2nd photo.

There is a possibility that these are photos of Sokol in the mid 1880's rather than 1876? there are a couple of other images of the young dark haired man in Albanian clothing(standing up) I can upload them to this talk page tomorrow for you to view.

Still not positive. When did Baci enter Montenegrin service?--Zoupan 08:59, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Either 1884 or 1887. Have seen both documented. Not 100% sure yet, which one is correct. Simon Ivezaj (talk) 10:22, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with the deletion of the photo, due to the fact that although it is probable, I am not 100% certain that the person in the photo is Sokol Baci. If you would like, I can still upload the other photo I have with the individual "Sokol?" Standing up in Albanian costume. Simon Ivezaj (talk) 18:40, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
