They are quite fantastic portraits of Generals and similar from Germany and K.U.K

Hi,

the lowest number in my collection (40029) and the highest number in your collection (49247) let me think, that we have a minimum of 250 post cards?

There are some variations.

Post cards with a different presentation of the name, as printed signature or as normal writing.

And there is the same man with different pictures.

Both variants you can see in the picture here, one of your post cards and one of mine:
