Betr. Ra...er, I mean Dachau stamping

[RobertE]

I guess it's fine to substitute any old camp after the Betr. marking - must have been a collaboration between Ravensbruck and Dachau!

This is in a M43 cap. What next.

never seen befor

The "r" in Betr. means Ravensbruck, to my understanding. So unless he had a stutter, the "manufacturer" stamped Bet. Ravensbruck Dachau.

Hmmm Besslein, I had the split wrong. Thank God for our international collecting partners!

So is this a possible real combination?

Robert its fantasy stamp,im not a expert,but i do have seen some SS caps in last 20 years

[RobertE]

Dachau stored I can see, but manufactured...anyway, I thought it was an interesting attempt at being different.

[Silesien]

besslein is correct; the German abbreviation for Betrieb is Betr. And so the markings for Ravensbrück are Betr. Ra.

[Dennis S]

So you Betr. run , I guess.

[RobertE]

Yes, it is. Which is why Betr Dachau is a probable mistake by a faker trying to make his piece even more exotic, and the point of this thread.

[RobertE]

So you Betr. run , I guess.

Good one!

The marking is post war.
I am not aware of any specific Dachua marking.
