Original Third Reich-era studio portrait featuring two German customs officers (Zollbeamte), presented in a textured faux-crocodile pattern folding display folder. The photograph captures both men in regulation long overcoats—one wearing a peaked cap with the standard customs cockade, and the other with a side cap. Insignia details, including collar patches and shoulder boards, are clearly visible and consistent with Zollgrenzschutz service uniforms.
The folder closes neatly and displays a discreet gilt swastika stamp on the bottom right corner of the front cover. When opened, it reveals the photo inset within a grey decorative frame. This type of formal presentation suggests the photograph was taken professionally and intended as a keepsake or commemorative piece.
