Those aren't abbreviations I'm familiar with- at least not together to form a unit type. Are you sure those are the correct letters? Is there no number at the end, after the 'G'? Could you possibly provide a photo of the Erkennungsmarke?

Hello

There are no other markings at the dogtag. It is definitely an original german WW II. I would not like to send a photo, because the counterfeiters in Poland do not sleep....

I have no problems with the normal abbreviations. Look at my website.

Oh I don't have any problem with the abbreviations either per se, it's just that in the order they appear, I can't come up with anything meaningful. It occurs to me that since 'I.G.' often stands for 'Infanterie-Geschütz', that the 'sr' could be an uncommon abbreviation for 'schwere'. Unfortunately, the 'A' doesn't make much sense then. The lack of a unit number and recognizable type (Bataillone, Regiment, Abteilung, usw.), is, of course, another problem- we can't even use a large list to attempt to find the unit because we literally know nothing about it save for an abbreviation that is unrecognizable. All we have is a Kompanie/Batterie/Schwadron/ usw. number, and that is of no help.

So I take it that you are quite certain that you have read all the letters correctly? That is why I asked about a photo- because sometimes people misread markings if there is any corrosion, etc. on the disc, or because they're not familiar with a particular text style. Since you did not respond to any of my questions about whether you're sure particular letters are exactly as you wrote initially, I suppose the answer is yes? If so, unfortunately, I am at a dead-end as far as being able to assist- 'A. sr. I. G.' doesn't make sense to me as a Wehrmacht unit. Of course I don't know every single one perfectly Hopefully someone else will have an idea

As for the counterfeiters, sadly you're right, they don't ever sleep. The thing is that they're not going to make a fake of a disc that no one can understand

guess

hello all, may i have a go? i think it could be 1ST ARTILLERIE, SICHERUNGS REGIMENT, INFANTERIE GESCHUTZ, or in english, the 1st artillerie, security regiment, infantry protection PHIL

[Frontalschaden]

Maybe.


but a Unit like this doesn`t exist in the Wehrmacht.

The unit name "1ST ARTILLERIE" doesn`t exist. The right form is Artillerie-Regiment 1 and if the first Abteilung of a Artillerie Regiment is meant, than it mußt be signed with a roman 1 ==> I. Abteilung

In a Sicherungs-Regiment there is no Arty.

guess

well, like i headed the reply, its only a guess. could the A. stand for AMP or ARMEE.? only trying to help.

[Frontalschaden]

Thanks for the attemp at all.

My first thought was something like Afrika Schützen Regiment. Infanterie Geschütz (Kompanie)

It is a very hard nut !
