Procured this card:
As seen on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paranoid_womb/8657693722/in/photostream" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
What I could come up with so far:
Postcard made in memory of the war 1914-1915. Name and unit are listed on the back. I hope we can this "George Rittermann" in the Kriegsstammrolle and see his carreer.
Unit: III. Landsturm Eskadron (II bayer. Armee-Korps).
Headwear: Tschakpa with chinscales, Bavarian Feldzeichen and Bavarian Wappen with Landsturm cross. Year of the model: unknown to me. (Note: hook for Fangschnurr nicely visible)
Tunic: Fieldgrey Waffenrock with shoulder straps marked 1. It seems like he first served in the 1. Royal Bavarian Ulanen-Regiment and that he is still wearing his old uniform.
Armament: Karabiner 98 with a clear Seitengewehr 1914.
Opinions/info on the helmet and tunic are most welcome - I'm no expert in that field.
Detail of the helmet.
Can anyone tell me what model it is?
