Real?
Thank you!

Fortress Infantry, I believe...

Interesting disk, not sure about the "F" but the RT. ZG. translates to Reiter Zug, Calvary group. So it very well could be: Reserve Company Fortress Infantry Calvary Platoon 44.
I almost forgot, Welcome to the forum!
Can't be an Erstaz Kompanie for a Zug !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Well assuming that is true, could RT. ZG. be a place? I know RT is sometimes used as "Reservetruppe" ZG can also be train but I have never seen ERS and Reserve on the same tag.
Appreciate it!
Thank you, sir!by Eike41
Close, but it's replacement company fur infantry Reiter Zuge. Supplied horse trained replacements for the mounted infantry kompanies. Unusual tag, but fine to me. Welcome also.
Typos corrected etc.

So a Kompanie sized unit as the replacement element for a platoon ! Never seen that before where a larger unit is the replacement element for what would normally be a smaller component unit of the larger one , if that makes sense , not sure in what circumstancres that would happen!!

Slight correction required due to answering via poxy mobile phone.
Should say Ersatz Kompanie fur Infanterie Reiter-zuge, that is plural not singular Paul D, which is why it confused you.
