    SS - ID Disc

    Hello colleagues,

    What are your opinions of the following identity disc?

    Also, can someone help me "un-code" the disc? This is not my area of collecting.

    S.GEB.JAGA.UE BAT.6

    Number 59 on the back side.

    Regards, Corey

        It’s supposed to be SS-Gebirgsjäger-Ausbildungs- u.Ersatz-Bataillon 6. This is a legitimate unit and it was formed on 10 May 1943 in Hallein near Salzburg by renaming the former SS-Geb.Jäg.Ers.Btl. Nord (formed 6 September 1940). In January 1945, a number of its personnel were send to SS-Freiwilligen-Rgt. 32 which was actually SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Rgt. 87 of the 32. SS-Freiw.Gren.Div. “30. Januar” that fought in the Frankfurt/O. area from February to April 1945.

        I'm not an EKM (doggie tag) "expert" so I'll let the others pass judgement on its authenticity.

          Thanks for the information Larry, can you recommend a good book or website for such identification purposes?

          Any opinions on the authenticity of the piece?

              Thanks for the reply, I will defiantly not purchase this disc. This has defiantly been a good learning experience.
