Odulf Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 My best guess would be Denmark, between the wars.Compare with the enclosed photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hello Odulf!No, I don´t think so. Denish uniforms had other chevrons. Because of the german officer in the middle I don´t believe in post-war era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The Prussian : I think they are finns during the year 1918 ,wearing perhaps swedish uniforms without the blue chevrons and collars two of the non german officers wears shoulder boards german style, one what appears to be a field officer strap the other, a subaltern strap . only one non german uses headgear and service belt . the cap is tipically finn . greetings Bayern .
