Well there was indeed an SS-Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 4 in the 4. SS-Polizei Panzer-Grenadier-Division, so the unit existed; it's listed as having 6 Kompanien, so there was a 4. Kompanie, and the roll number is low enough for this to be a legitimate replacement disc since the unit was created when the Division was, so in the middle of the war when new men would indeed have already had discs from their previous units. It's not an old blank more recently stamped, and the white crystalline patina certainly looks like the real thing on discs I've seen many times. I don't recognize the font as a known bad one- so over all, I can't see anything wrong with it myself.
