Portrait of a Waffen-SS Officer from 9. Hohenstaufen

[JYN]

Hello,

I found in my files this portrait of F. Galeitner and I was wondering if it was a WWII print ? The paper is marked ArgentA.

Anyway, if it is not a WWII porint, it is quite a nice portrait.

Hello.

Stunning portrait, but IMO: no.

Here is Argenta logo till 1945:
