POW Tags

[Good Pwny]

I know absolutely nothing about these things. I'm just hoping that they're not fake. I know that these are rarely faked and find it pathetic that somebody would even take the time to do so, however, crazier things have happened. These were pretty cheap, so I was willing to risk the 20 bucks. Thanks as always!

Hello GoodPwny,

they are really not faked. Nice pieces! I also have aluminium one in my collection. Here is a link to info about Stalag VIIIC in Sagan, formerly in Germany, now in POland:

Thank you very much, Jan! I only had one other half before this batch and it's broken in half.

Thanks Eric! Because they are half tags, does that imply that these prisoners died in captivity?

No that doesn't have to be the case,
Many POW's distroyed and threw away their EKM's after they were released!
