Backyard snapshot member of Freiwilliges Jäger-Bataillon Schill.

[Eiserne Wehr]

The following photograph shows a member of Freiwilliges Jäger-Bataillon Schill with the distinctive eagle head collar insignia, one of the best and most impressive looking Freikorps insignia made if you ask me. On his belt he wears a Grabendolch with a officer troddel and a rarely seen pistole holster made from cloth. This snapshot could be made on military grounds but i like to picture it being just in the backyard from where he lives. Not sure what the black marking denotes on his right shoulder, most likely it is just an attempt to colour in a damaged spot of the photograph. Sadly, like quite a few of the photographs that i own, there is nothing on the back of this photograph other than the mentioning of the photograph developing company.

An example of the collar badge (sorry for the quality).
