Two half-zinc Erkennungsmarken from members of a Fallschirmjäger unit.

The upper tag is a field-made replacement and has the number 62718, which corresponds with the 7./Fallschirm-Jäger-Regiment 1, which was fighting in Holland and Crete in the early war years.

The other tag has the number 63076, which corresponds with the Fallschirmlager XI. Fliegerkorps, stationed in Seifhennersdorf. At this "Lager", meaning camp, thousands of parachutes were packed, stored, and repaired. The owners of these tags were probably transferred to the Fallschirm-Panzer-Korps "Hermann Göring", since this unit was transferred to Latvia and East Prussia in late 1944.

Unfortunately, we don't know the exact location where they were found, but it is rare to find FJ tags in this area.

Priced reasonably.
