Re: My First Disk. Thoughts. Authentic?
Looks like an authentic German WW1 disk IMO.
The pros will be here soon enough.

Re: My First Disk. Thoughts. Authentic?
Hello,
This is German ID tag from WWI, version 1916 or 1917. The details which we can read from the inscriptions are as follows:
Albrecht Ketzel - soldier's first & last name
Plauen. I Vogtl. - his last living place
First assigment:
2 ERS. BATL. 134 2.R.D. = 2 Ersatz-Bataillon (Infanterie-Regiment) 134, 2. Rekruten-Depot - 2nd Replacement Bataillon of 134th Infantry Regiment, drafted by 2nd Recruit Depot
24 10 95 - date of birth
Second assigment:
R.I.R. 243 I.M.G.K. = Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 243 1. Maschinen-Gewehr Kompanie = 1st MG Company/ 243rd Reserve Infantry Regiment
No. 71 = soldier's number

Re: My First Disk. Thoughts. Authentic?
Very nice- definitely authentic and in relatively nice shape for something nearly a century old
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

Re: My First Disk. Thoughts. Authentic?
That's great news! I understand that in Europe, the privacy laws are quite different than here in the US, although is there any way to find out anything about the soldier that this belonged to?
Thanks very much for the information, and sorry for putting this in the WW2 section.

Re: My First Disk. Thoughts. Authentic?
So far as I know, only family members can request service records from the Deutsche Dienststelle, and no worries- this section really should include WWI since Erkennungsmarken are really a specialized subject of their very own
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
