    Imperial Kriegsmarine Brotbeutel?

    Hi guys,
    I have bought this "Brotbeutel". It is marked B.A.K. and the date. I think it is Brotbeutel, however I have not seen it yet, so it can be something different. What are your opinions? And what does I.T.A.1. 2019 patch mean? It would be superb, if you have some period photo if it. WW1 is not my specialization.

    Thanks,
    Petr

    6.11.14 is the date, so 6th of November 1914

      This is the standard issue navy breadbag for naval ground forces. It was later produced in gray canvas as well.

      Equipment like this which was stored aboard ships for landing troops would have had such a white property label. I have a navy identity disk with a similar abbreviation and I think it is for a naval ship's Tender.

          I forgot to mention in my first post that the "B.A.K." stands for the "Bekleidungsamt Kiel", one of the two major issuing points for navy clothing and gear.
