[E.Manstein]

Few years ago during road reconstruction these dog tags there found in Vilnius (Lithuania). They there not worn. Personal numbers marked from 1 up to approximately 500-600 (almost battalion). As I understand this is LW dog tag. Maybe somebody can explain more detailed witch unit?

Maybe you have one spare for sale or trade?
I have 2 of these ( one from Stabskompanie and one from 3rd Komp.) but none from 7th.
