Doc, I wonder at the age of this officer, what with his carrying a cane and wearing skin tight leather gloves.

I have looked at many photo's of German Officers and the gloves & cane were quite common among them. I believe they were badges of rank.

Gerben is right on the money. The Artillery IS user Friendly and a devastating weapon with the stock. Without the stock the pistol is a bit awkward. The 6" Navy is much better without the stock than the Artillery and deadly with the stock.

The Artrillery worn the way this Officer is wearing it was quite popular after the war during Weimar.
