    16 Infanterie Division Erkennungsmarke

    This was a local find today, a 16th Infantry Regiment "dog tag", which I thought was rather interesting, the 16th Infantry Regiment was part of the 22nd Luftlande Division, and from memory, there was only 2 Luftlande Divisions in the Wehrmacht.


    I don't think these Erkennungsmarke come up all that often, so I was happy to bring this one home with me.


    I believe it is a good period original, but all opinions appreciated.


    Best wishes

        Hello !

        Nice EKM of an interesting unit !

        From the low number, I would think this EKM was issued at the time of mobilization in August 1939.

        Here is a very intersting website with a lot of infos on IR 16 and the division :

            Hi ! A good original one, issued at the beginning of the war, but number 126 within the 1st Company can not be considered as a low number. For sure a regular soldier at this date.... L.
