GreyC Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Hi, I am not sure. Did you notice the osmanic medal (Galipoli Star) and is he wearing a turkish belt buckle? A high res close up might help. The hat also points east. Could I have a scan of the back with name and possible address of the photo-studio, please?

ixhs Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi thanks. He is a german officer in türkischen Diensten. Dort erhielt er i.d.R. eine Rang höher. Also z.B. preussischer Major = osmanischer Oberstleutnant. The photo studio is PHoto Baum Dresden He did not write his name.- the card was written to a Hauptmann a.D. Baum in Chemnitz in 1923 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi, these are informations that will help narrow it down, don´t you think? Interestingly there is no officer by the name of Baum listed in the Ehrenrangliste or it´s appendices who served with a Saxon unit. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hello . Interestingly the officer appears to wear a Saxon 1907/ 1910 officers tunic with eight matt kronenknopfe closing the front and with the characteristic Saxon cuffs with two buttons. The Kalpak and the Shoulder Boards slightly pointed are turkish . also the belt buckle and the dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
