I have a 1936 dated belt, I know what the unit markings are, but what does the letter I. above it indicate ? TIA

I would have a guess and say "1st Battalion".

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,It looks more like a capital I to me than a number 1 ?

Yes, that is correct.

The Germans used that type of Roman letter for batallion designations

Cheers, Ade.
