I collect GD related Soldbucher, Wehrpasse and Urkunden and every now and then the set also includes the dogtag. Here is one example...

Thanks for sharing, I,ve ever seen just one example of Gr.Dtschld tag stamping before. I hope to get one in the future for my collection.

Are all those GD discs yours Sajer or are you just asking if they're real or not?
I'm rather doubtful of some of them- the 18. Kp one has 'wear' on the cord holes that isn't smooth but has sharp edges, which makes me think it might have been done with a file; the 4. Kp IER GD has a font very much like known fakes and the ends of the Trennschlitzen are round as if they were holes connected by slots, which I've seen on some bad fakes from Eastern Europe; the 2. Ers Btl JR GD also has a font that looks quite like known fakes; I think it's worth checking if Grenadier-Ersatz-Regiment GD had a V. Bataillon because typically Regiments had only 4; and the Schnelle Truppen one's text doesn't quite follow the reference name which I found as 'Ausbildungs-Abteilung Schnelle Truppen Großdeutschland- and its 2. Kompanie is listed as Kradschützen, and the 3. is Panzer- so that one's a bit odd.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

Thanks, not all are mine just a couple of them but I wanted to check as the Pz.Fus looked right to me but the font is not a common one. Regarding the pz. Schnelle is mine as well and it,s true that marking is out of common but since it has an aging wich looks good to me and a the cord wear looks right (better seen on the reverse) i decided to get it. thank you very much .

Ah, okay, well the Füsilier overall looks okay to me- I've not seen one before, but since I had to look up whether or not the Regiment even had a 17. Kompanie (most have only 14), and whether or not it was the Infanterie-Geschütz Kompanie (which it was), so if it's a fake, the guy really did his research LOL The only thing that is a bit odd is the high Stammrollennummer; the unit was created well into the war so men serving there would have normally had discs from their Ersatz units, not this field unit; and it'd have to have been the Regiment issuing replacement discs, if that's what this is, to do so over 360 times- even that seems rather high.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

Aufklärungs und Ausbildungs Abteilung, very contrary to regulations. What a mess.
