History / Polish military uniforms - collar markings [74]

@pawian
Thank you! The bugles in the collar make so much sense. Maybe they are in some kind of dark background because I kept thinking they were just a fancy shape. Reminded me of upside-down mustaches 🤣. Appreciate the lead! I think this guy is so regal and proud. Absolutely love him.

History / Polish military uniforms - collar markings [74]

Hello there,
This is a photo I found at an antique store. It's a post card photo. No info written on the back, but the printed areas to write your address and letter are all in English. I'm wondering if this is an American volunteer in Haller's Blue Army during WW1? I see what looks like an infantry bugle on his cap. His collar felt-points are so intriguing. It's clear that they say "2" with some sort of design under them, but this is very different than the zig-zag embellishments I've seen in so many other photos. He is such a lovely young man. I'm trying to learn more about his rank and such so I can tell people more about him on my antique/vintage photo social media page. Any insight into his collar insignia, or anything else that stands out, please let me know! I'll be happy to credit whoever can assist. I cannot see any details on his shoulders to know if there are any stars on them. Hope someone can tell me more!!
