Dwight, Judging by the uniforms and luger holster pictured, I would bet that these are Swiss soldiers rather than German, probably circa 1900-1910. Tom H.

Tom, You are absolutely right. The soldier in the middle is wearing a Swiss Luger holster and the kepi type headgear is Swiss to be sure. No doubt about it. Not german at all. Jerry burney
