Skeleton leather hooked to the belt
Interesting picture came from :Link: ebay item
Is there a 9 on the grip? I cannot see clearly. === Link does not work, have to copy pix.... From Ebay Ad. From helmet to boots, all treasure |

Most likely not a "9" as those pistols don't appear on the scene until later in the war. Judging by the helmet and field cover this photo was probably taken in 1914/15.

Nice photo,
Reminds me of my 'Mr. Moustache' photo that I got a few years ago, together with a portrait of the same gentleman, including his well cared for moustache. And a bit more unclear, but interesting nonetheless: The Waffenmeister with his C96 in hand. |
