I thought it was an appropriate description LOL . In the display case next to it were 4 dog tags and a wound badge and some buttons? I assume they all came from the same estate. The interesting thing is the dog tags. What I was wondering is if WW1 prussian pilots wore dog tags? I was looking at these and tring to make them out but I am totally lost. I don't know anything about WW1 Prussian items. I assume the observer badge is fake as the always are and the last one and only one I bought for allot of money was a fake that is why I stopped collecting this stuff. In any case the dog tags are really neat I am just wondering if anyone knows how to read them or if there is a place to look them up? I looked on the internet and there is not allot of information on them. I don't know if you call them Id Discs or dog tags? It would be interesting to know what type of soldier wore them or what unit he was in? I wonder if people return them to the families of the soldiers? Even if they are not worth a whole lot I think they are really cool as a historical item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Very nice Beobachterabzeichen, typical wartime example. And the dog tags are of second war pattern, the ones from the first war are smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Artur Dreifuss - Ersatz Bataillon Infanterie Regiment Nr.135, 2.Kompagnie (Lothringen). This was his training unit. The info on the back is his field unit. Karl Bender - 2.Rekruten Depot, 1.Ersatz Bataillon, Infanterie Regiment, Armierungs Kompagnie. Pionier Johann Merz - Infanterie Regiment 98, Minenwerfer Kompagnie. The complete Erkennungsmarke is a WWII era piece.
