Authentic Erkennungsmarken?

[TeamScience]

I have the opportunity to purchase these, but am questioning the authenticity of them. I want to know what you all think, and if your suspicions match my own. (Why or why don't you think they are authentic?)

In my opinion it Looks genuine… reason: the wear marks, and the tag itself is an original.

i would also say a nice original to the 1st Kompanie of Sanitätsdienste 31. It was part of the 31st Infanterie Division. Formed 12th October 1937 in Braunschweig.

Thank you all. I was questioning the "A" blood type mark, as it seems to have been added after the tag was originally made; however, I understand they were initially not on early-war tags and may have been added later in the war. Further thoughts from other members are still more than welcome!

I agree original. Often tags are stamped with the blood type and roll number after the unit. makes it more likely to be original. I am guessing it was on a metal cord or used form 1937-1945 because that is pretty extreme wear.

I like it!
