Maxims in the field.

A very posed early German postcard. Stamp is marked 1916, card is probably earlier.

Nice example of a colored B&W image.

The pickelhauben look like artillery. Can you tell if that is a Saxon or Garde plate on the helmet?

It's a Saxon Wappen. They are wearing pre 1910 Tunics and, as Ron noted, they seem to be without full spike. The Pickelhauben are a mystery.
