Here is another picture of Genz. Different angle & lighting, draw your own conclusions but as there is no alternative ID as yet, I'm sticking to Genz.

Note that Genz has one ear that sticks out & one that is normal. Over here we call people like that Bus Stops. Dimple chin is still there & the hair is combed the same. Despite that, the similarities are not that convincing.

Source: http://www.eagle19.freeserve.co.uk Ciaran's old site I believe. Whatever happened to him?

If he is not Genz, is he perhaps Hans Teusen??

Hello
I would say Friedrich Platzer without any definitive certainty.
Teusen is a little bit too skinny even if some facial similarities exist, IMO.

Hi
I have the same photo. It's rather difficult to give a definitive opinion since the peaked cap prevents from seeing the top of Platzer's head but I find some similarities.
I have several pictures from Alfred Genz, if somebody want to see them, let me know, I am sure this is not him (and I wil eat the crow if I'm wrong :wink: )
Regards
Denis
