Description

Group portrait of Austro-Hungarian Tyrolean alpine troops (most consistent with k.k. Landesschützen/Kaiserschützen), likely older reservists or a rear/replacement detachment, armed with captured Russian Mosin-Nagant M91 rifles.

Their uniform insignia consist of dark Austrian-style collar patches displaying the edelweiss device with metal rank stars, identifying them as Tyrolean alpine troops of the Austro-Hungarian Landwehr/Jäger tradition, complemented by the distinctive Tyrolean field cap (including a feathered example).
