This photo was in my collection (when I had one) at one time...it had been signed and dedicated by General Kryzer on back, thanking a family for allowing him to stay with them in Moscow (for the VP?)...just a superb photo.
Doug,
Do you have any close-up shots of a general's parade belt buckle (preferably in color and as many different periods as you can find)? I've heard conflicting reports about the design on the face of them and I don't know where to go to find pictures of them.

The shifty look and the almost smoky aspect to the photograph make it a classic.:thumbsup Have you seen the photo the Avers people keep using of a fellow before a podium sporting just about every secret police badge from the egg onward (including the Bulgarian MVR)? I am still baffled by that one.
