German WWII Erkennungsmarke – Stammkompanie Grenadier Ersatz Bataillon 552 (Zinc)

Original German WWII dog tag (Erkennungsmarke) issued to a soldier from the Stammkompanie (core company) of Grenadier Ersatz Bataillon 552. This unit provided trained infantry replacements to frontline units. The tag is made of zinc, typical for mid to late-war production, and shows moderate surface oxidation with clear, legible markings. A historically significant piece with Eastern Front relevance.

Markings:

• A 1148
• Stamm Kp. Gren. Ers. Btl. 552

Condition:
Good, zinc construction, shows some age-related corrosion. All text remains legible. No visible cracks or bends.
