What would one stamp on an ID disc (reenacting) for 2 SS 3 Regiment Deutchland
panzer grenadiers ?
Thanks

Correct designation is SS Panzer Grenadier Regt 3 " Deutschland "

Paul,
So it would read SS Pz.Gren.Rgt.3"Deutschland" ?
Thanks

No, he was just correcting the formal unit title- an Erkennungsmarke from the unit would read something like 3.K. (E) SS ,,D'' and then the serial number (with that exact punctuation, the 'SS' as Sigrunen not just capital SS). That's the text from one original- you could technically use 1. or 2. or 4. instead of the 3. since there were multiple Ersatz Kompanien. It'd likely have Waffen-SS on the reverse. If you guy is an Alte Hase and had been with the unit since its early days, he might have a disc that read 7./SS. D. and then a serial number (low) with SS-VT or SS-Verfügungstruppe on the back- again with that exact punctuation, Sigrunen not capital SS, and you can choose any Kompanie number from 1. to 12. probably if you don't like 7.; 4., 8., and 12., were MG Kompanien, the others rifle Kompanien. That's for back when it was a Regiment alone before combining in Das Reich.

Thanks so much !!

Sure thing. And be a pal and mark 'repro' someplace on it too- just because you intend it for reenacting doesn't mean that somewhere down the road someone might mistake it for real or decide to try to pass it off as such...

Sure. So the serial number on the same line after the "D" or would it be on top ?
