i.d tag from Russia

[MrPotts]

My friend just got back from Russia where she went with some friends that are well known diggers in the area where she is from. They collect remains when found and they also give items to Museum's with the larger stuff they find, like field kitchens, bikes, ect...

She brought back this item that was found along with a comb found in Novgorod forest where they call in the "meat forest". There is a story behind the whole thing how she ended up with it, but to get to the point, has anyone ever heard of this unit ?

Infanterie Panzer Abwehr Ersatz Kompanie 225, part of the 225th Infantry Division. The Division was raised on 26th August 1939 as part of the 3rd wave through the Landwehr commander in Hamburg Wehrkries X. Initially based in Munsterlager, served Western and Eastern fronts. Nice tag.

Negative.

It belonged to Infanterie-Panzer-Abwehr-Ersatz-Kompanie (Infanterie-Ersatz-Regiment) 225 - Infantry Antitank Replacement Company/ 225th Infantry Replacement Regiment.

This regiment was responsible only for replacements for 225th Infantry Division. It was not part of that division!

I thought it was a anti tank unit with the ABW.
