PLEASE ~ Wish to Identify ‘Anything’ Regarding This Pre-1900 Imperial German Photo ?

[dpast32]

   Good Morning Folks,  I'm desperately attempting to determine 'something', really anything regarding the following Photograph ? ( In my opinion, it appears to be of Pre-1900 +/- Imperial German origin, marked to an Berlin Photographer. IIRC, I recall seeing his Sword somewhere, although that particular type / style was quite similar to many others during the time period in question ? I've been advised that he appears to be an Enlisted Man / 'Other Ranks,' & although I'm not certain, it does at least sound correct ? Sooooo, if anyone here amongst us happens to have be able to provide an identity of this individual's Unit, Sword, & or anything whatsoever pertaining to it, I would be extremely appreciative !! THANK YOU Folks, very much !!

   Best regards,  Dom P. /  ‘dpast32’

Hi Dom.

 

This is a Brandenburgisch 'Reitende Soldaten einer fahrenden Abteilung der Feldartillerie' or 'Riding soldiers of a traveling field artillery division'. The studio opened in 1887 and this photograph taken before 1890.
