Name Photo of young German boy in naval uniform

Catalog ID HCM5388
Year circa 1930-1933
Description Cut-edge photo of a young boy (5-6 years old) in a wool uniform of the German Navy (Reichsmarine or Kriegsmarine), probably circa 1930s.

On his left sleeve is the single chevron of a Matrosengefreiter, below a signals arrow.

Paper is matte/lustre finish. Back does not appear to have a manufacturer's stamp, but does have faint lines, possibly for postcard use.

Fake? I think it's real, but not 100% convinced. I don't know enough about photographs.
