    Quite an unusually dramatic pose-- given the photographic processes of the day, you can bet that "billowing in the wind" overcoat-as-cape was WIRED into that position.

    I have never seen one like this!

    It is difficult to be certain from the photograph but I get the impression he is some of form of non commissioned military official, perhaps a Zahlmeister-Aspirant or Waffenmeister of a mounted unit. He is not wearing a cavalry uniform.

    Maybe taken a couple of years after the war when he had left his unit? The guy I got it from just knew he was in the cavalry, maybe became an official soon afterwards?
