Hello Kev, you could be wright, the sleeve/shoulderboards are black, but the uniform could be a very dark brown which I never seen on a uniform. Thank you. Best Regards V.

And another question. This is a SA-Member, but as far as I know the Uniform of the SA was brown also the caps. He is wearing a black cap and uniform how can this be? Also does anybody know where the unit 44/178 was based and which rank this guy has. Thanks V.

Thank you :cheers:

And another two photos with some questions, so not german but ... 1. Photo is this a Serbian soldier, what award is he wearing and is this a special regiment? 2. Photo, am i wright that this is a czech mountaintropper (Falcons on his sleeve) what timeframe could this be, early 20ies? Regards V.

Here is another quite interesting photo (also its another timeframe as the pictures posted before), just for your viewing pleasure. Shows a Father with his sons, sadly there is no writing on the back. Nr. 29 is Motorstandarte Lindau as far as i know. Interesting also the Political Leader. Best Regards V.

Thank you so much Rick here is the brides name and time of marriage and maybe that explains the Honorcross: Married 29 September 1932 Detmold Princess Karoline zur Lippe, daughter of Leopold IV, F?rst zur Lippe and Princess Berta von Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld PS: I love collecting photos more and more ;)

And another one quite interesting i think, theres no writing or stamp on the backside, but I think its photographed at the end of 20s/early 30ies. Quite Interesting Medals, can the man be identified by his medals? Must be a fairly rich family by the look of the brides clothes and necklace. Best Regards V.

I will add 2 more photos from the album. Its not Freikorps but WW I. On the first is on the shoulderboard a 122 clearly visible. And the second photo, I never saw such a "mean" looking officer before on the scan it doesent come out like on the real photo (looks really scary). Regards V.

Thank you Gordon for your helpfull reply, after some research i found another picture of Freikorps Probstmeier at ebay. I am not sure if i can post this here cause i am not the owner. Anyway they have on this picture the same sleevebands, but no collarinsignia. So maybe there were two different Korps at this time there to (a period quote) "free the city from Spartakists".

Just find out where the citygatetower stands: Its in Augsburg the so called "Wertachbrucker Tor". It still stands today. So maybe it could be the Freikorps "Probstmeier". Thank you K.

I dont know if the attached photo has anything to do with the above pictures but it was in the same parcel. So my clue is its from the same source.
