Ritterkreuzträger to identify

[Brecht B]

Hello guys,

Can someone put a name on this Ritterkreuzträger Portrait?


Thanks in advance,

Brecht

[Lionel H.]

Don't know where it is yet... but don't love the paper... Can we have a look on the back ?

Hi Lionel,

There is nothing wrong with the paper, the only thing is that the picture has yellowed a lot because of the age. We all know the articifical made pictures or the "Russian" archive pictures, this is not one of them.

The picture was a dedication picture to a fellow soldier when he was in the field hospital. First name is Otto, so that can help a bit in my search.

Cheers

Brecht

OK BRecht, all is fine. The fading/aging seems suspect at first glance, but the back is perfect.

Hi Lionel,

No problem at all . One has to be cautious, especially with these type of pictures.
I made another scan at higher res which also looks better.

Cheers from Belgium!

Hello John,

Many thanks on the information.
It's indeed him after comparing the pictures.
