Fritz die Spinne Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Just received this fantastic little find for my BDIII list, which contains two ID tags to the same soldier with different cities--from the famous Garnison location of Ingolstadt as well as the city of my family. Josef Birnkammer, 24.2.1889, Ers. Abteilung, bay. 6. Feld Artillerie Regt. One is for the city of Ingolstadt (2 Ers. Battr.) and the other for Freising (Garnison Battr.) Each tag has its original cord. The backs are blank The 10cm x 18cm striped bag is marked distinctively specific to the Bavarian BDIII, kb III Armeekorps Bekleidungs Depot, with 1915 date and Hersteller code.

For some reason I think I have seen these sometime ago...
Chip Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Is that a Salzbeutel? The dimensions look the same as others I have seen. Chip

John Burchell Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Showing here one that I am told is a WWI Erkennungsmarke (aka: "Hundemarke") as issued to one Emil Kanzler, born 12.8.92 in Neudorf.Elbing. If I read this correctly, he belonged to Reserve Infantry Regiment 210 as a member of the 2nd Machine-Gun Company 219. The tag was already broken in two when I received it.
