Tripple purchase

[Wartime Militaria]

Hello all


I have bought these three dogtags. I hope they are OK, however I would like to help with the EKM on the right. Emis - Emissar??

Thank you.

They all look great to me- and it's Lingen Ems- exactly as is on the disc- it's a town in Germany: Lingen on the Ems river. The Panzer one is particularly nice since it's got the expanded text and was carried by an original member of the unit. Actually, the same goes for the JR154 disc.

Many thanks Matt, you are really kind! How it is possible you know all of the abrev? In my lists there are not all of them

Sure thing- happy to help.

I use the big list in Höidal's book as well as years of looking at discs and comparing the abbreviations to unit lists to discover the right one. These are:

1. Panzer-Kompanie 1./ Panzer-Regiment 36, Stammrollennummer 38, Blutgruppe A (1st tank company, tank regiment 36)
13. Kompanie Infanterie-Regiment 154, Stammrollennummer 134, Blutgruppe O (13th company, infantry regiment 154)
