Germany Prisoner of War - 1./2. Italiener Kommando XVI Belgium 1 Mark 1.8.1918 Rottinger 167. Described by the consignor as one of three examples known with two of those in collections in Germany, this appears to be a German issue made in occupied Brussels, Belgium in mid-1918. The issuing unit's name "1./2. Italiener Kommando XVI" suggests an obvious tie with Italy which has not yielded any answers as of yet. In any case this is an extremely rare World War I issue that should create interest from specialists in this area.
Estimate: 300-500 USD
