Mine is from 1943 and the owner served in the TR-KOL 11/4 which is a horse column. Kind of like a supply train I guess. He was orn in 1925 so he'd be 77 now. Kind of cool.

Mine was made in 1944 and issued to a Rifleman assigned to Headquaters near Bern He was born in 1936 and his name is/was Marcel Zuger.
