Found this in a batch of old photos. Probably goes back to the middle 1800's. Anyone in Germany or other European Country can you Identify? (Moderators may move if not suitable.)
Thanks!!

Agree with Gypsy = Prussian. "Alt Pillau" = Old Pillau which was largely destroyed in WWII and is now known as Baltiysk in the Kaliningrad region.

Agreed... I found other Prussion Uniform pics, and I think your pic shows a junior enlisted troop, early 1900s...
