What do you think? And what could the setting be? I think these are German Grenzschutz.

The helmet plate also looks Romanian because is more egg shape, not oval as the Dutch one. The rifle seems to be an ZB.24 rifle (and bayonet), in WW2 the Dutch were equipped the Mannlicher Geweer M.95 http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr-Mannlicher_M1895 which looks totally different (external magazine). Now I have a question for you: is this a Dutch WW1 Marechaussee NCO? Dutch NCO by honoretpatria.wordpress, on Flickr

Your portrait could be a Wachtmeester (Sergeant) of the Marechaussee. But it looks like he's wearing a green/grey uniform and has 19 on his cap referring to the 19th Infantry Regiment. So I think a regular infantry sergeant. This post has been edited by sudhafen on August 15, 2013 01:02 pm

The person on the foto is a Wachtmeester (sergeant) of the Korps Politietroepen (police troop corps) which were added to the 19th Infantry Regiment. They wore a fourragère on a fieldgrey uniform. Photo is probably taken somewhere from 1919-1925. The Korps Politietroepen was created in 1919.
