Another picture of my collection.
Who is this officer?

Bani,

I think this will be probably impossible

Once again an officer in an Überrock and consequently no way of identifying him by his decorations. He is an Oberst and with the light coloured Überrock possibly a Prussian Dragoon regimental commander. As he is a veteran of 1870/71 most likely not much later than the turn of the century.

Well, it is my far the only picture in the series, which is dated - 1897.
And it's the only way I know single portrait.
All others I have or know, show 4 or 5 people.

Hi Bani,

I have seen a few single Fricke cards and these are usually the most difficult to identify, especially if the officer is only wearing the Überrock.
