SS totenkopf KZ guard portrait

[Rogerd]

Hi to all,

I have this original photograph of an SS totenkopf NCO.
I do believe I did see this picture/man before. Maybe once on the forum, I don't remeber well.
I know there is almost no chance but can someone ID him? Are someone also seen this one before?

IMHO this is a KZ guard, totenkopfwachsturmbanne.
The pointed collar is typical. The shoulderboards are not white but a little more grey on this pic, so ok for the colour of KZ guard. He's an older WWI veteran with no new medals. => all matching to a KZ guard.

I have seen this picture many times. It is a well-known original photo. I have a scan of this photo on my computer at home.

Thanks for the replys!

This one is not a reprint for sure, its an old picture. Torn from a photo album. Its postcard size.
I know how an original pic has to look like... This is not the paper used for reprints. It has the right traces of use and age!!
I did not buy it form ebay. Came from someone who did not know a thing about it.
Will post some close ups...

I can see even the print of the chalk paper who was between the pages of the album, very faint.

It is not because a picture is reprinted a lot, it is a fake for sure. If someone still thinks its a reprint, no problem, but explain why please. No hard feelings as this pic dit not cost me anything. Just want to hear some more..

Portraits like this were originally printed more than once. It is enough for one of these is in the hands of a faker, to be all over the place. But it does not mean there are no originals of this pic....
