Tom,
I think your assessment of the German language is correct the J for I. Upon closer examination of Jeffâ??s book page 58 it looks to me that the â?? Râ? has to be in script for a Reserve unit in every case except for Infantry units.

(Hope Jeff doesnâ??t mind me posting a small partial page in his book)

With this in mind, I think Tom is right! the marking should indicate â?? Reserve Infantry Battalionâ?
I donâ??t see the â??R.J.Bâ? listed and was just checking to see if someone had any other ideas or have observed this marking before.

Thanks,
Jim
