NavyFCO Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 All: I don't know anything about WW1 Imperial German, but I just got this dogtag in a group of items from a two-war WW1/WW2 US Army veteran. I ASSUME it's from WW1, as it's much heavier than a WW2 one, and he never served overseas in WW2. Is it a WW1 German dogtag? If so, any idea of who or what the person who wore it was? Thanks!

Chip Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yes, this is a WWI era Erkennungsmarke. All I can make out is, Emil Appel - Hagen I.W. (im Westfalen)- born 28.2.93 - LDW.FUSS.ARTL.BATL.63. That's "Landwehr Fußartillerie Bataillon Nr.63." Heavy artillery. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Chip: Thanks for the reply! Anyone have any idea of what this might be worth? It's with a large US Army group that I'll be selling here in the near term and it would be good to get a ballpark value of what it's worth...$10 or $1000? Thanks!

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 HI, I would guess USD15-20 ? Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I agree with Chris concerning the value. The condition is very similar to a dug example and the unit is not super interesting. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
