Is that genuine Wiking ID TAG?
Thanks in advance

it looks very messy so to speak i have not seen this before on the id disks i have seen (wich is not that many so dont take my word for it) but i think it looks dubious btw what makes you say wiking the W stands for waffen and otherwise i think it would say "5/w-ss

It is a Depot Disk. Waffen SS training pool Heidelager not Wiking. The location is interesting Heidelager was a famous V-2 test site must have been an SS training site as well.

Having never before seen such a disk I cannot say it is original. Need to find out if the unit existed and such.

I am still looking if it's genuine or not. Seller got also second one but Wiking.

Heidelager was the main Training camp for the Waffen SS Truppenübungsplatz der Waffen-SS Debica in Poland it was known as this until March 1943 when it became known as SS-Truppenübungsplatz “Heidelager” i have seen tags to Debica of this type but it is logical to assume that tags issued after March 1943 would carry the Heidelager name !

So to be sure is that stuff genuine ? I doubt them because of the sharp letters on damaged surface of the metal ... please help me thanks

Unfortunately the FAB Wiking tags are faked a LOT, there are several threads in this forum about them with pics I recommend you search them to see how this one stacks up.

If it comes from the same source as the dodgy document it's shown with then you are throwing your money away.

I am not buying anything that is not determined as genuine ... that's why I am asking but my doubts were from the first time I saw them
