OK, have you ever wondered just what exactly they called the trim found on the collars of Bavarian uniforms? It called "Kennzeichenborte" and was brought into use per Royal Order, dated April 1, 1916. This was part of the uniform changes mandated by the 1916 uniform regulations. Below are some pictures to illustrate:
