Armband for maneuvers

[Naprawiacz]

The photo was taken in 1908 during joint maneuvers with the Swiss army.

Fantastic Wojte, thank you very much for sharing. It’s the first photo I see a maneuver band in action

Very rare! So, is this an example of an early maneuver band which Lacarde states damaged officer helmets with its brass hooks? As a result, they went for the more common DRP officer uberzug with no hooks and cardboard visor inserts??

Wow, a rare example!

Thank you very much for all the opinions.

The lighting of the image is very surreal.
