Help Identifying Soldiers. WARNING - GRAPHIC!

[Sturmabteilung]

I found this picture the other day whilst researching a project on Ed Gein. I am pretty much stumped by their uniforms. Judging by the spurs and trousers, I believe its safe to say they are some kind of cavalry. Thus far I have deduced they are most likely finnish but any help would be very much appreciated.

P.S. Sorry about the disgusting photo, but I guess thats just war.

The collar tabs on the man holding the saber look like Russian Liberation Army, and the pants look similar to cossak's, that's my best guess, but I am no expert.

i have since realized they are in fact Finnish. take a peek at this modern Finnish dragoon band pic:

This (obviously retouched) picture has already been discussed here:

Yes, it is not a kind of 'disgusting' photo, but a retouched picture for fun. I can show you some similar ones (including a 'hanged' pilot by buddies)
I have true execution pictures also (hanging and shooting of soldiers after a military tribunal's judgement), those are totally different snaps.

Hi!
Theese soldiers are from finnish cavalry. Uniforms are model 1922 and picture taken probably mid 1920-ties. Sword the "hugger" is holding is ex-frech cavalrysable which were bought from France, recall 1922. Certainly the picture is fake - rather goodone?
