Provisional Reichswehr cavalry officer

Studio portrait of an unnamed Provisional Reichswehr officer (Rittmeister) of the Kavallerie-Regiment Nr.9 in walking-out uniform, photographed around 1919 to 1920 in Parchim. His old unit was most likely to be the 2. Großherzoglich Mecklenburgisches Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 18. He had May 1919 introduced rank insignias added on his Feldbluse like summer jacket of the old army, comprising silver braids on the lower sleeves and the silver shoulder cords. These rank badges were short lived and replaced by the new regulations introduced in February 1920.
