Empty German ID disc

**excdrac** · 03-03-2021, 06:50 PM

Hi,
I found a German ID-disc, it was on the surface of the ground, approximately 20 meters away from a trench. The location is Hungary, one battlefield of the Opreation Konrad. It is empty, there is no any sign on it.
I would like to ask you it is original or just someone’s joke. If it is original why it is empty?
Dimensions: 70x50x1,3mm, 20 gramms, non magnetic metal.
Thank you for your kind answer ina dvance!
George

Appears to be ok, not unusual to find blank ekm. Some put fake stamps on them and sell for big money.

It's Great! Thank you!!! So did they use to stamp them at the units too?

If the Waffenmeister found himself at the front I guess it’s possible. Any number of reasons how it might have got there, but if you found one I expect there are more nearby.

I have a few blank ones that we found in Estonia , i'm sure the fakers would love to get their hands on them !!

I found a few hundred exactly the same in a fakers workshop. As possession of them is not a crime they remained there! He wasn't using them for a while however as Her Majesty gave him accommodation for 5 years for various other legal transgressions.

I do know he is back in business in Uk but his rubbish is very low level.

I was being facetious of course Paul, I have found blanks before too but wouldn't stamp them up and sell them, although others do.

All this fake stories are so sad. I am glad I found this in a forest as a blank one. In this case I am sure it is original..... (it is the first I have)
