Hi George!

I think you are generally right what you are saying.
A small other thing I can say is that there were often markings from the "WERFT - DIVISION" on patriotic items. As much as I know everybody had to be a part of the Werftdivison at the beginning of their career. It was something like a naval school als much as I heared from collectors.

I am generelly collecting WW1 regimental steins and pipes... there you can see quite often the markings of the Werftdivision + the ship they served on for example... on the same stein. It always sounds: Zur Einnerung an meine Dienstzeit an der SMS Moltke und der Marine- Werft- Division Kiel" - for example.

thanks for your help!
