GBL Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Hello! I am new to the forum so i thought i start off with showing a few items from my collection. I mainly collect German field gear and edged weapons from the great war. Enjoy. Gijs
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Very nice indeed!! What is the stamp in the breadbag?
GBL Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks! The breadbag is marked: 12, 6 I.R., BDM 1918, 301. Looking at its condition i think it bever left the depot during the war.

Paul R Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Nice focused collection. Are the fighting knives maker marked at all?
GBL Posted March 21, 2020 Author Posted March 21, 2020 Thanks Paul! The knife on the 4th pic is made by Clemen & Jung, the knife on the right of the last pic is made by Ernst Busch. The knife on the left is unmarked.
Fritz die Spinne Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Very nice. The Brotbeutel is marked B.D. III, which was the Bekleidungsdepot for the Bavarian III Armee Korps. Sunce most had Bekleidungsamt, this is unique just to one Bavarian supply chain. The 301 is a code for a Hersteller, but nobody has found the master list.
GBL Posted April 7, 2020 Author Posted April 7, 2020 Thank you all! And Fritz, thanks for the extra info!
