Re: Schutztruppen
You're always coming up with gems aren't you? Thanks for posting this selection of great pics...
And yes, standard use of holster. I guess butt downwards was more likely to stay in the holster when galloping around.
Cheers

Yes, DSWA for sure. Rifle looks like a standard G98 or possibly a Schutztruppe Gewehr 98. Can anyone confirm that?Peter H wrote:Looks like DSWA. Whats his rifle? Standard use of holster ?

Re: Schutztruppen
I'm pretty sure the rifle's a 98.I've read they carried the rifle butt down in the bucket with their arm through the sling to stabilize it.
Re: Schutztruppen
Is there a list of Schutztruppler for DSWA?
Re: Schutztruppen
Hi Walter123,
Yes of course, - Thousands; - You would have to specify your question in more detail. Which unit, which time frame, . . . and so one . . .
Cheers Holger
