Freiherr von Brockdorff signature?

[torstenbel]

I have a book with a dedication and 1924 dated signature by what I believe to be Freiherr von Brockdorff. Would anyone know which Freiherr von Brockdorff this is? Cheers, Torsten.

In Erinnerung an die ruhmreichen Karpathen-Kämpfe!
Weihnachten 1924 U.(?) Fr. von Brockdorff.

There was an Ulrich Freiherr von Brockdorff. He was a diplomate with the King of Danmark. But I am not sure if the first name in the dedication starts with "U" - Ullrich.

There have been a lot of "von Brockdorffs" as officers in the WWI Army.

Hallo Torsten,

I think it is Walter Graf von Brockdorff-Ahlefeldt

Please compare the "W" in Weihnachten and the first letter of his signature, it is the same "W".

PS: Would anyone have a photo of the man?

Hi Gerdan, thank you very much ... it will probably be impossible to find a photo of him during WW1 ??
