Postcard of a German Soldier with trench knife

Here´s a bavarian Gefreiter, (private), wearing the 1915 pattern tunic, (introduced in 1916 in Bavaria), and, a private purchased cap.

The soldier carries a, also private purchased, hunting knife, (a, so-called, knicker).

A very nice photo Reibert!

A photo of one I am still looking to add to my collection.

I guess that comes from my love of stag handled edged weapons.
