This is a special one.

Not that long ago, a small group of field-made Erkennungsmarken from SS-Korps-Kraftfahr-Kompanie 111 was found near Berlin. They were probably unissued and thrown away together in April 1945. We were able to get one exemplar of this grouping. The tag is made of aluminiom, and in very nice solid condition. It was a unit of the XI. SS-Armee-Korps, later XI. SS-Panzer-Korps, which was formed in the second half of 1944.

Since it was formed late-war, only few corps units were really formed. One of them was SS-Korps-Kraftfahr-Kompanie 111. This unit ended the war in the Halbe pocket in April 1945, where it dissolved in the chaos of these days.

It is a non-typical tag, but real, and from a very rare unit to find any tag of. Very cool piece.
