    My Bavarian items.

    Original 'Reichskokarde' of the right helmet was missing and replaced by an ordinary rosette. At that time, a Jäger Shako was out of reach to me, but got the Jäger Mütze (as it was) by chance. Could someone complete the marking inside (1st J.Btn?) Thanks+bregards, Marty

    Hello from Brugge (Bruges) Belgium.

    Hi Steve, a small world? Sure it is! More surprising is your link with Zeebrugge. I'm really anxious to know the story of yr captain grandfather and the Flanders Flotilla (if it's ok for you, by pm or e-mail,tx). The WW1 history of Zeebrugge/Brugge is well known to me and even until this day...
