A nice addition Mark! Complete with period string!

The way it's tied too seems to suggest the guy it belonged to (or someone else) just wrapped it up, and tied it so it could be stored in a drawer or something.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
Nice tag, maybe wrapped by the original owner
Thanks Matt & Adam
I like how the string has left oxidation marks down the face of the metal. Very nice.
Congrats, by the way, to Matt L who has now been "promoted" to "Lifetime Member"....

LOL Thanks Will- one can only stand being playground monitor for so long... I'd rather hit the sandbox now LOL
And I noticed the photo of the disc's reverse shows the roll number begins with '1'- a typical pre-/ early-war Infanterie-type Kompanie had around 190 men according to the KStN 131b and c, so if the actual number is below that, this guy was an original member of the unit.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
