After talking too with three relic hunters that have looked in the BD sector, they all conclude that helmets with the Huber Jordan Spanish decal are rare, most helmets used by men of the Division were no decals or single decal Heer Helmets

I have seen other helmets found In Kolpino, with remnants of the decal; I believe they are owned by a forum member.........

A recent addition to the collection ID tag found at Spaskaya Polist:

[Spanish Freiwillige]

I believe this tag to have belonged to a member of the 10th company of the III batalion (plana mayor) of regiment 262.

Thats a very very nice metal detector find.
If the finder was a little more gentle when removing the corroded dogtag from the ground, it would be intact. But it dosent matter as long as you have the two parts.

I have never seen a spanish dogtag like this before.
