nice finding - might it could be that it belonged to someone,who was a belgian drafties and disapeared between Sept 1944 and December 1944 from Losheim to Merlscheid -I found now 24 EK's in this area and all belonged to belgian conscripted men

How were you able to find out who the tags had belonged to?
As for the tag in this thread, with such a low number, perhaps it belonged to an old school NCO.

I think the owner was likely from the 296. Infanterie-Division as they crossed the border in 1940 in the Losheim area.

Nice find and in good condition too.
