    Help Identify Unit Please?

    Gentleman:


    This one came through the door on Saturday. Want to be certain of unit prior to posting on our website. There is a stamp on crown liner (faint) that has a IV BA LC and 1916.

    Any help with this will, as always be appreciated.

    Dave,

      Cöln wasn't in the IV.A.K., so I don't think that works. The only unit in the IV.A.K. I can think of that would have worn a shako would be the Magdeburg Jäger Bn.Nr.4. There may have been other wartime units, like Flieger troops, but I would have to check to see if any of the Flieger Ersatz Abteilungen were stationed in that army corps.

      If you could show the "LC" stamp, I might be able to say more.

          Hello,

          Here's a couple neat links on Magdeburgisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 4 - Naumburg:

            Maybe a silly question but your not confusing LC for the size 57?

              Eric is correct...that's a size 57 upside down unless there's another stamp not shown yet.
