W Wildcat1 Inactive Nov 7, 2015 #1 I just got a K11 from classic arms, manufactured in 1916. I'm most interested in the troop tag I found under the but plate. The picture is to large to load but I will type it out: Hani Karl 11 Fl. Pk. Kp 5 St. Gallen Haggenh.itr

W Wildcat1 Inactive Nov 7, 2015 #3 I actually figured it out! He was part of the avation support company 5 and I found his street with the help of a semi local. One of many reasons these mil surps are amazing.
