    Hi,

    Well, I never picture myself owning a photo like this one, when you have in mind that prices they are usually reaching on e-bay or other similar sites. But here I am with this (to me) great picture of a bunch of sailors from 4. Kompagnie - II Torpedo Division. There are four Navy Lugers being held and several visible first model holsters attached to stocks.

    The picture was taken in 1915 and mailed at Wilhelmhaven on December 29th of that same year to a certain Georg Müller Kauffmann (don't know if the last noun is his family name or his profession).However, I would love to know what the rest of the writing in the back says, as I'm not able to decifer it. Can anyone help me here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Douglas.
