    Description

    - Ship World Wide, will combine shipping
    Here is a
    World War I Imperial German Army Photo Post Card
    .  This
    Black and White Photo Card
    is an interesting study
    depicting
    what I believe is
    4 enlisted men, 1 officer
    and a
    couple local children
    posing in a ruined city on a street.  2 have
    Pickelhaubes
    ,  the officer a visor cap another an enlisted visor cap and the 5th a soft enlisted cap.  The men have rifles, the
    pompous leader has a small holstered pistol
    and is leaning on a
    sword
    .  There is purple ink writing on the back along with what I discern to be a
    1917 cancellation
    .   I can not make out the European script.  It is in about fair condition and apparently 104 years old.
