Now here's something you don't see everyday. A very rare and until the last few years hotly contested and often denied, 'Volksbund der Deutschen in Ungarn' badge (People's Alliance of Germans in Hungary). Also ground dug from SS Nord positions in Northern Karelia near Kokkosalmi in the Kiestinki municipality.
I really enjoy acquiring artifacts associated with SS Nord that speak of the multiple ethnicity of the unit.
Check out the lovely deep green verdigris!
Nice and interesting items Glenn. My Great-Grandfather took part in the battle of Kokkosalmi, Kiestinki so these items are always intriguing to me.

is the leather pouch ground dug ?
I'm sure it is James, the ID tag and the pouch are a matching pair and the pouch was seriously soaked in something before I received it. It was practically dripping in an oil of some kind which I had to mop up with paper towels before I could add it to my display collection.

My Great-Grandfather served in the Finnish Army that fought with the Germans there. Germans fought in Northern Finland and Finns in the rest, but at Kiestinki both armies were combined.

Hi Glen, this is really nice,,, and in a minty condition, with no yellowing to the white centre core
Thank you SK. I had to wait quite some time before finding an example that had all the elements I wanted such as mint condition, nice paper tag and the RZM printing on the material.
