Mike suggested I post this pic on this section. I am looking for any unit or area ID from
the uniforms. Thanks. This is likely some police unit or related type of unit.

Circia 1933-1936.

Look like so-called "Green Police", and if those are Kar98bs mixed with the Kar 98as, then the photo broabaly dates ca. 1923 or so (or later) thru 1933/34. The Pol got K98bs, although I haven't yet seen a Pol-marked one...

Suggest you confirm with J. Wotka,
 
98's

Photo data

The rifles are a mix of Banner K and Kar98a. This would date the photo from late 1933 to
any year later - possibly up to the late 1930s. This photo will be inserted into Volume 1
but I could use any data on the police unit or approx. ID. There are 3 Kar98s and 8 Banners.
 
Bruce, you're right - no td disks = not K98bs.
For more precise dating you need a Pol uniforms specialist, since the Pol uniforms changed at different dates from the Weimar to Nazi uniforms. I think these guys may be Prussian based on the collar tabs but I'm far from a specialist in Weimar Pol uniforms.
