Odulf Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Recently I picked up this interesting CdV portrait, from a photograpic studio in (Hamburg) Altona. It is an Unteroffizier of the Hanseatic Infantry Regt. Nr.76. Interesting, because on the reverse of the card is not, as usual, the name and address of the photographer but a bird's view over the Regimental Barracks. Also interesting to note is the special Kokarde, with the Hanseatic Cross (Red on white), not to be mixed up with the Landwehr cross. To illustrate, two CdV portraits: Edited November 3, 2014 by Odulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
