Hello!

Jrcol,

Your man very similar with Wilhelm Knapp from Aufklärungsgruppe 123. He received RK in the late fall of 1940. And according to their warm clothes it's may be good variant. Let's wait for other opinions or confirmation. :)

Best wishes
Ruslan

Hi guys! Who's this RK with OL winner (note he's wearing a converted EKII and a "field made OL")

The pic comes from a Selling site.

Regards!
