Unfortunately the arm-patch is invisible.The reverse is only marked with "Post Card", nothing else.Thanks a lot i n advance! Sory, I´ve got problem with the photo. Always an error appears... Another try... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odulf Posted September 11, 2015 My best guess would be Denmark, between the wars.Compare with the enclosed photo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Prussian 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayern 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 .
