Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
I've got a M1917 "Krätzchen" for EM, a so called "Kammerstück" which is regimental marked and with "Bekleidungsamt"marking.
It says; BA.XIX.18 57,5 8.IR.11
Translated this would be ; Bekleidungsamt 19th Army, size 57,5 , 8th Infantry Regiment. 11th company.
Here's the puzzle.....the 19th Army was Saxon and the 8th IR is Prussian ( Leib-Grenadier )...
So I was wondering ; is this cap re-issued and therefor double marked?
Or could it be the 8th Saxon IR , which is also know as IR107 ( 8.Königlich Sächsisches Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Johann Georg Nr.1017 ), or MGA 8 ( Königlich Säschische Machinengewehr-Abteilung Nr.8 ) , both of which were part of the 19th Army..
Any thoughts ??
