dear friends

i found those marking at a liner
any ideas about the marker

the one looks like

? L BAG
? L 1916
L

but BAG is Bekleidungsamt Garde , right

and the Spike Helmet is a M1915 field grey

regards tom
 
Tom,

That is a very wonderful question. Your analysis is absolutely correct however, some of us have had the experience of reading these marks for a longer period of time. This is what we found out about this one.

It is KBAG not LBAG

it is the Bekleidungs Instandsetzung of the Guarde Corps---the repair depot


big letter L on the bottom is really a poorly applied F standing for felddienstbrauchbar--Field wearable (or serviceable) .

Here is our current example from the listing. We maintain this stamp listing at http://www.pickelhauben.net But we all contribute to it.
