Thanks Max,

I've posted a scan of the inscription. Good luck but it looks to be unreadable even if you can read the language, plus it blends right into the background which doesn't help.

Jim VB,

You may be on to something with the Bobsledding. Curiously, though the album came from a Swiss boxer there really wasn't any evidence of any Winter Sports being represented. I guess there's always the exception. I found Bicycling, Running, Strongman stuff, Soccer, Fencing. The Swiss won the Gold medal in the Bobsleigh in 1924 at the Olympics and the sport originated in Switzerland so I'm leaning toward Bobsled right now I guess.

Unfortunately I can't find any decent period photos to really confirm this. If anybody else has any ideas, please shoot.
