Kammer

[KAGGR#1]

Not sure where to place this
but I will start here
Sad to say this is not my helmet
but in the collection of a friend
I had never seen a Kammer issue stamp
on the back of a leather strap
So I took this photo.



Has anyone out there ever seen one like this before ?

Never seen this before but one hell of an od place to have sutch marking
Not easy to stamp it i guess

I knew that troddles where marked like this but not a chinstrap

Great of you to share this

Hello

I saw such a marked chinstrap on a bay 7 JR helmet. The helmet and Uberzug were too marked with 7 JR marking and the helmet was genuine, the chinstrap has been on this helmet since the beginning.

Every time i get my hands on a helmet this wil be the first thing to do is looking on the chinstrap for any markings

This prooves that the germans where inventive

Yes, but I see far later that the chinstrap was marked !

Too many marks often arouse my suspicion, but these are obviously the real deal,
And you kind gentlemen just added another level of a 100% .

I have checked my chinstraps but no markings

There seems to be no end to these "surprise findings" in the world of haube collecting!

"Hey Max."
"Ja?"
"See if this stamp works..."
"Where?"
"I dunno, try it out on the chinstrap."

Maybe there were 'chinstrap thieves' out there from other regiments, or even a way to mark 'every bit of equipment' to the regiment. :-k Interesting!
