Appears to belong to a volunteer in the Stabs of the I Abteilung of Artillerie Rgt 60;

Artillerie-Regiment 60 - Lexikon der Wehrmacht

There were two Abteilung each with 3 Batteries, the link above will illustrate for you.

Hello. What indicates that the volunteer is from Russia or Ukraine? This ID disc is found in the Courland pocket. I assume that the area I usually visit is where the 60th Artillery Regiment was destroyed in February 1945. I found four 81mm Gr.W.34 baseplates and many other war items in this area. The battles have been horrific in this place. I found this id disc just a few meters from place where the soviet SU-76 was destroyed.

Wrong, there was no Stabs batterie, just 3 Batterien per Abteilung

Well that's interesting. The ekm is stamped with StabsB, what made me think of Stabsbatterie too. Is this a mistake on the ekm or does the B next to Stabs stand for something else?
