Just got these in the mail.

Interesting- the two oval ones are the usual 1916 early and mid-forms, but the rectangular ones a surprise- apart from one tag I have marked to a Festungs-MG unit, I've only ever seen oval discs from WWI; and the little history I've read suggested the large 7cm oval form was the dominant one certainly by 1916 when the doubled information on a breakable tag came along. These appear to be some form of intermediate style too with incised lines rather than actaul cut slits for breaking... very interesting!

Matt, you're the BEST! You should write a book on this stuff. I'd sure buy it!

I wanted to once, but Bender and other publishers weren't interested LOL
