SA Kepi Ostmark

[ivbaust]

As promised, here is the wedding photo showing an SA Rottenfuhrer with his bride. Pictured in 1939 in the 'Atelier Elvira' in Graz. The edelweiss is clearly visible on the kepi. Graz means that it must be the Sudmark Gruppe.

Great photo

Correct. Only #2 is correct, what was listed on the Espenlaub.

Anyway this your kepi is nice and all original beauty Only, it is Gruppe
Südmark

Thanks you were spot on about the button.

Great photo

Some further Information I forgot. Handwritten Text on the Backside says: "As a friendly reminder of your loving sister Fini. Graz, August 3rd, 1939". Just because somebody might be interested in.

To be absolutely precise: "Zur freundlichen Erinnerung von deinem dich liebenden Schwesterl Fini - Graz am 3. 8 1939"

"Schwesterl" is a (typically Austrian) diminutive meaning "little sister".

Ja, das weiss ich. 'Schwesterchen' auf Hochdeutsch.

Wo dem Schwesterl seinem Brüderl sein Kapperl wohl heute ist? (Try to translate that! )

The photographer (Pinther) seems to have called his shop in Annenstraße, after 1938 called Krefelder Straße due to a city partnership with this German city, "Atelier 'Elvira'". Today it is Annenstraße again - going down from the railway station to the river Muhr - Griesgasse, where Schega & Neffe was, is a side road to it!







Litto/Vienna was here (Lange Gasse):

Some things just can't be translated without distorting their meaning. 'Atelier Elvira Graz, Annenstrasse 16' can be read in small letters on the photo at the bottom right. Apparently they've had forms in stock that still had the old street name printed on them.
