Hi, if anyone could help me and say in which army served this soldier? Maybe if someone can say that by his uniform. Its from Croatia, which was part of Austrian-Unagarian Monarchy. Maybe is even older photo, but i dont heave any more informatin about it. Does he have rank?

I think he i is a infantery soldier. He have bajonnet not sable and shoes not boots. And i think he is a private.

My vote: Russian army private (late uniform)
Belt with two-head eagle? look at collar, boots.

It certainly could; the eagle is exactly like the WH one. It could of course be an eagle for some of the more obscure nazi organizations, but I'd say it most probably is a WH WW2 buckle.
