New in my collection! This is a Leutnant Gerhard Schmidt from Nürnberg!

My question:

There are 2 Gerhard Schmidt receiving the DKiG as Oberleutnant: One of GR 123 (05.05.1943), the other one of GR 173 (29.03.1942)! Can anyone tell me, if my photograph shows one of them? If yes, which one?

Kind regards
