WWII German Dog Tag – Kommando 2. Infanterie-Division (Predecessor of 12. Panzer Division)

Original WWII-era Erkennungsmarke (ID tag) issued to a soldier of the command element (Kdo.) of the 2. Infanterie-Division.
This aluminum disc is an early-war type, featuring a low roll number and clean stamping typical of the 1939–1941 period.

What makes this piece particularly collectible is its direct connection to the 12. Panzer-Division, one of Germany’s most respected armored units.
The 2. Infanterie-Division was later reorganized and motorized into the 12. Panzer-Division, which saw action on the Eastern Front and in key operations throughout the war.

A rare transitional item that links the early-war Wehrmacht infantry structure to its later, mechanized Panzer formations — perfect for collectors of Panzer history, divisional evolution, or early-war German militaria.

The Disc parts are sticked together with a sticker on the back.
