    It got a real chance to be a good one, but I'm afraid no serious collector would become happy with this piece.

    I think I will take a shot at it… it’s only 20€.

    If anybody else has an idea on it please let me know!!!
    Thanks.

    The tag did arrive after looking at it more closely I do think it’s an original tag… here for more closeup if anybody ever gets offered a similar tag.

    What is the organization here? I have many SS artillery tags and none of them have a battery or company like this one. Is this tag supposed to read

    "6 battery(?) SS Artillery Regiment 5 soldier number 16"?

    Yes artillery is always battery instead of company.

    Tag reads:

    8. / SS A.R.5 Nr. 16
    Waffen SS



    And the meaning is like you said:
    8 battery / SS artillery regiment 5 number 16

    Thanks for the additional photos.
    Now it looks not that bad ("cleaning" condition), so it was a good deal for sure.

    Oh I don't know. I'd give it a home if I'd found it.

    Thanks guys appreciate all the replies… hopefully we manage to find a better condition tag from this unit aswell to get a clearer picture of the font.
