That is a great between the wars photograph album Spandau. As you say , this fellow appears to be a gentleman of means who enjoyed the "high life". His wife (I assume) is also I fine looking lady! Thanks for showing this, Leon.

Above pictures are earlier shots from the late 1920's again offering a good view of the uniforms in wear at this time.
This picture is of note as the group picture dates 1934/35 but looking at the soldiers medals a large proportion are ww1 veterans. One has a Turkish award on his pocket, another has the helmsman's badge on his sleeve. Also note that the older soldiers have not added the eagle to their uniform breast whilst the officers and younger nco's have. The battle flag takes precedence in the middle rather than the swastika !

I found this photo on ebay:
"Kaserne Ludwigsburg bei Stuttgart. Reichswehr Soldaten mit Stahlhelm".
On the shoulder straps - number of Pioneer battalion. But what number?
