This may just be a mark on the negative, but it DOES look like a "4"... or even an ace of spades?

Possible ;-)

But click on the photo to enlarge it... it really looks like a "4"

Chris,

There is a photo in Kraus's "Die feldgraue Uniformierung des deutschen Heeres 1907-198" that shows Prussian Infantryman wearing a Felkdrock with a number 5 in the same location and Kraus called the arm insignia improvised.

Hi Chris!

I agree with the "four". Unfortunately I don´t have any idea for that....

[Chris Boonzaier]

HI,

It may have to do with "Gun 4" in an MG Unit?

Full photo is here...

It is definitely a "4". I have never seen a number stensiled on a WW1 tunic before. Have you all?

[Chip]

I don't think it's stenciled. The photo in Kraus and this one show sewn-on numbers, which are (I believe) die cut Pickelhaube cover numbers. They have the same size and style of number.

also with a number on the tunic: Was bedeutet diese Nr ... - Feldgrau

Best regards,
