Stamps in Headgear...

Hi,

A Bavarian hat with B.A.XVI. 1916.

Does that sound about right?

As a doc collector I often fall into holes when it comes to buying outside my field... any tips`?

Thanks

Chris

OK, the XVI A.K. was NOT Bavarian....

BUT, after they had suffered incredible losses at verdun the Alpenkorps (It is a J?ger hat) moved into the XVI A.K. for a month or so to recuperate.

I suppose it is logical that the resupply would have come over the Korps B.A. that they were attached to. Hence a BA XVI stamp in a Bavarian hat.

Is my logic OK on that?

Thanks

Chris.
