SS dogtag

[MassimoG]

Hi, I am BRAND NEW to this forum and HOPE I am in the correct place. I have the enclosed SS dogtag that was given to me. I was told it was a dug up piece from Karkov area of Russia. Can anyone help to determine if it is a real tag and what it says and maybe a ballpark value. ANY help would be MOST appreciated. I have other items from that same area to be posted another time. THANKS

MassimoG,
Welcome to the forum. You have posted your photos and question in the WW I section and attached them into someone elses post.
You need to go to the Erkennungsmarken- ID discs in the 1933 - 1945 forum and click the green bottom that says "Post New Thread". Good Luck, Bob

SORRY! Tried to post 2 photos. Only the reverse came up. Must have posted that one first.

Yes original. It reads as 3rd company of SS Infanterie Geschutz Ersatz Batt. The 1600 being the owners number on the roster. The unit formed on 15th Aug 1942 in Ede, in the Netherlands. Later split and renamed. If found in Kharkov then he got moved there as a replacement. Value, whatever it gets pushed up to. But got to be worth $70 at least.

THANK YOU!! I appreciate your taking the time to respond and I REALLY appreciate your apparent knowledge of this type of information. You're a "Man to ride the river with". Peace, mark
