Well B.B. it is a nice original erkennungsmarke from 1. Kompanie Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 487 (Infantry replacement batallion 487).
The number above it is the soldiers rollnumber, this was also written in his Soldbuch.
Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 487 - Lexikon der Wehrmacht
If you like 'em erkennungsmarken can be very addictive.

Thanks for the information. I think this one may have opened the floodgates for me.
How rare would a Gebirgsjäger EKM be? I'd like one to go with the setup I'm putting together.

Gebirgsjäger erkennungsmarken are not that rare and you get them for somewhere around €40 - €50.
Here is an example for sale at the Huesken website:
ERKENNUNGSMARKE : HEER - GEBIRGSJAGER : Deutsches Reich 1933 - 1945 - Andre Husken Militaria

Many thanks! One to go hunting for at the shows.

Also appears that either the owner has added his blood group to the rear of this ekm or else it might even be an initial "A" - it is larger than the blutgruppe mark on the obverse so was added later.
