Re: purchase
I have bought some mixed tags found by a guy with a metal detector, I have not got them yet so cant supply a photo. However there are 3 xEM tags in the lot. Two hales which I can not read from the pic and one full one. The full one is H.Ma.Ludwig sort So I am trying to make sense of it I get H= Army Ma= Masse= Bulk Mass and as for the rest....well who knows. Where could I go to find the info on Ludwig sort. I wish to learn how to do this. thanks ...Paul.

It is Heeres-Munitionsanstalt Ludwigsort. If you look this up on internet you will find the info.

Thanks for that Rik.... I did look on the net and found tags which were H.Ma.LT How do you know Ma is Munitions worker? I have a few books which in the abbreviations list Ma as Masse= Mass/Bulk that is in Michael Burroughs book Collecting WWII German Military Identification Discs. In Dan Mackay's book Extreme Relic Hunters Guide to German Dogtags Ma is listed as Mass/earth/ground. In Jean Hoidal book Ma is listed Masse. It looks like i was barking up the wrong tree! I could not see any info on Ludwig sort. I notice that you wrote it as one word where it is two on the tag. What reference do you use or is it years of collecting? I also found a wikipedia page listing all the ammo sites that the Germands used. I did not see a reference to Ludwigsort. I am still a youngish what ever but at this rate I will no hair left to pull out..... Thanks again Rik....paul.

Look forward to seeing what you've added to your collection Timeout. Münitionsanstalten would have used forced labour as well as German nationals.

Rik.... that was "clear as a bell"..... Thank you I could get into this but not at the expense of my pow tags...! Blackcat I will post photos when it arrives. no doubt it will take weeks before I get it as the guy will not ship outside of Russia so it has to sent to a friend in Russia and then shipped out.

Paul, I have been going through my books as I was sure I had seen the abbreviation of the Heeres-Munitionsanstalt somewhere. I did find three of them in Jean Hoidal's book, they are as follow:
HMA
H.Ma
H.M.A
