Is this an authentic photo?

Thanks Greg, Do you happen to know why he's got a sidearm or what kind of frame those glasses are? I've been wanting to base an impression around this picture for a while.

sorry Mate cant help you on both counts, but the holster dose not seem to be standard 08 or P38 type some of the other guys here will be more knowledgeable.

I think the holster might be from a TT33, The sunglasses have still been a mystery for me though...

I think it is a German holster

Getting back to the photo that started this thread, it was taken at a re-enactment event in Manassas, Virginia in October 2009:

Sure enough, someone is currently selling one on E-bay as a "reproduction from an original WWII photo":

the truth is that since I saw, thought it would be more your style a Confederate uniform.

I am, and most likely the rest of the forum roster is unable to understand what you have written above...

Could this guy with the sun glasses be from a MG team as he looks to have the Cleaning kit pouch on the left side of his belt would also be the reason he has a side arm
