Unidentified erkennungsmarke
Hi, I've found this EKM with my metal detector yesterday. It was bent like a sandwich. Unfortunately, While I was straightening, it broke. It's always tough to decipher a zinc erkennungsmarke because the writing usually are oxidated. If I read well, the abbreviations are 4/N. ER. BAT. MOT 51 all in Caps. Why is it "Er" instead of "Ers" and "bat" instead of Batl or battr? Is is a slash or a "I" for infantry? Help me please!

This one is from 4. Kompanie Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon motorisiert 51.

Nice find!

Can it be traced using the Lexikon to your location? ..... paul

The EK was found in Italy so the soldier changed his unit but he kept his old EK as usual.

Interesting Ekm. I think Dschop is correct but it did cross my mind that it might have referred to 4 Instandsetzung / Repair Kompanie. But I don't have any evidence that there was such a unit attached to this one. So Infanterie it is. Nice find.
