12./I.R. 68 – 143 - 12. Kompanie Infanterie-Regiment 68

Authentic German WWII ID tag (Erkennungsmarke) issued to a soldier in the 12th Company of Infantry Regiment 68, part of the veteran 23rd Infantry Division.

This unit fought in Poland, France, and on the brutal Eastern Front.


The tag is stamped:

“12./I.R. 68 – 143”

The tag comes with an original-style brown fabric field cord — an increasingly rare accessory.

This tag is aluminum, a variant typically used early in the war.

The disc exhibits wear (from the cord) but remains fully legible, making it an excellent historical piece.

• Condition: Good with wear and patina; clear unit and blood marking
