Nice picture Thanks for posting this, but you might think about some kind copy protection before we see "it" show up on ebay. A sad fact of life now.

Some individuals also look much younger than they are. From the Ost medal ribbon he had already been serving for sometime before since the photo was taken either mid-to-late war. He is not your typical 1944 HJ Div baby soldat.

I think I've discovered a "new" type of buckle on this guy.
I've played with this image in photo shop and something is missing: the buckle has ... no motto! also the wreath top is lower relative to the wings than the normal position. and the eagle looks a bit strange to me.
comments welcome.

Nice portrait!
Are you sure on its authenticity? I only ask because I see the same photo here: http://www.atthefront.com/("Waffen-SS Insignia Set" section).

Quite interesting as I do in fact own the photo.
Here is the photo scanned with a toothbrush today to prove the point.
(Someone once suggested the toothbrush as a prop. don't know why, but here is one I use to clean insignia)

I doubt that could be the case.
Purchased this photo along with quite a large number of original studio photos from a gentleman who brought them from Eastern Europe and had a suitcase full of them along with a substantial quantity of war time equipment that was behind the Iron Curtain until just recently.
This is the first time I have posted it, so quite curious.
Thank you again.
Best regards,RonR
