Help ID unit from ID tag

[Mr.Jerry D]

Can anyone help me ID the unit from this ID tag?
It looks like:

II.Fl. Rgt.71
7. Komp 547

Thanks!

Hi Jerry,

That would probably be be 7. Kompanie II. Bataillon Flieger Regiment 71:

Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 71

Created on 1.4.1939, FStO Sorau, 1941 in Schweidnitz; mobilized as Flieger-Regiment 71 in 1942 with three Batallions (I., II. and III.) and shifted to southern France (Bordeaux, Montelimar, Lyon). Disbanded in August 1944 following the retreat from Rhone valley.

Strangely, I find no listing for Flieger-Regiment 71 except in the context of Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 71.

So, presumably this disc was made sometime betwen 1942 and 1944- after the mobilization and, of course, before the disbandment. Is there a blood group on it anywhere?

Do you have any proper provenance for the disc?

Matt

Hi,
Thanks Matt~
There is no blood group stamped on it. This one came out of a collection that I recently purchsed, they guy was stationed in Belgium in teh US airforce in the 1980s. Alot of the stuff was 'dug', but there was a few bad pieces in there too that he presumably got at local flea markets.

Are there any red flags on this ID tag? I planned on selling it, but not if its no good.

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,

If you could post a picture I'd be in a better position to tell you if the disc is okay or not.
