No worriesI'm glad you posted it- I wouldn't have recognized the image of the one I have and the significance of the Regimental roll or the number issue on Doggie's disc.

No worries

Re: ID tag SS Norge Rgt. 23
This is the one I have an image of- clearly the exact same unit text, which does properly inlcude 'Panzergrenadier', and the roll number is 606; so when the '23' was added, the unit's proper title would be 'SS-Panzergrendier-Regiment 23 Norge', and roll numbers would be higher than 606.
It makes no sense that when the number 23 was added to the unit's designation that they'd drop the 'Panzergrenadier' and start over with Kompanie-level rolls. The unit type- in this case 'Panzergrenadier' is an essential part of the title, so would never be just dropped. And there never was just an 'SS-Regiment Norge' or 'SS-Regiment 23 Norge'- all one has to do is look it up. The incorrect title is a fatal flaw unless some obscure reference can support it.

I made some photos of scratches i believe there is normal corrosion inside of it, Please guys look within 3 minutes to judge
Re: ID tag SS Norge Rgt. 23
Yup, that's a known fake font- and it's not the same as the two I mentioned I have images of (the font is different on those). So that's at least 3 fakes, with the same incorrect unit text.by Paul E

And okay Doggie, but realistic-looking corrosion doesn't even come close to balancing the unit title issue...

Re: ID tag SS Norge Rgt. 23

Re: ID tag SS Norge Rgt. 23
Those are odd scratches- why would they be there? And the Sigrunen are made of simple lines with no connection- they're not a proper stamp. That's uncommon, but not unrealistic. It doesn't help suggest authenticity though- more the other way since anyone could do them.
Will you please post a close-up photo of the Stammrollennummer at the top (between the cord holes)? Those numbers look recognizable but I can't use angled shots to compare them to known samples.

Re: ID tag SS Norge Rgt. 23
That's way too fuzzy I'm afraid- something like the ones on the white would be best...
