Chris Boonzaier Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Am I right in thinking this is a 1915 model tag?TanksChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gregory Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If anyone here lives in MUC and would take a photo of the house he lived in for me :-))))The best image available online is from above at Google maps. I bet the church bells were loud!If I recall correctly, slotted dog tags first appeared in 1916, so I assume that your wonderful example dates from 1915 or earlier.Is there any available literature on German tags?

However, I don't see why he attributes the Sturmbataillon tag to Rohr's unit. It could be any 5th company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be any 5th company.As much as I would love him to be wrong, I think he is right on that. 1) Its a pionier and this desgnation was mainly just Rohr men 2) It seems to be from the time when Rohr was still the only battalion 3) I am not sure but I tink Rohr was the only one with 5 Kompagnies?
