    Hi,

    I got this photo of Danish soldier and would like to find out more about that. Can someone please advise his rank, period of this uniform was in use (is it pre WW1?), etc.

    Very interesting gun - can it be for a cavalry?

    Thanks,

    Timo

    Although I'm danish, I can't help you much but the gun might just have been used for decoration (not unusual on this type of photos).

    Judging from the style of the photo, I would say it's pre-WWI - probably around 1900...

    Someone more into uniforms could maybe say more...?

    The gun is a cavalry carbine of 1870-vintage. Private. Most probably 5th Dragoon Regt in Randers, Jutland (where the photo was made). Certainly before 1900.
