LW EKM Flieger Regiment 72 with leather pouch

Luftwaffe Erkennungsmarke (EKM) – Flieger-Regiment 72 with Leather Pouch

Authentic WWII German Luftwaffe identification tag (Erkennungsmarke / EKM) attributed to Flieger-Regiment 72, complete with its original leather neck pouch. The oval zinc dog tag is clearly stamped and retains a strong, period-correct appearance, while the accompanying leather pouch shows honest wartime wear consistent with field use.

The stamped unit designation “4. Fl. Ausb. Rgt. 72” (Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 72) identifies an aircrew or ground personnel training unit of the Luftwaffe. The presence of the original leather pouch significantly enhances the desirability and completeness of this set, as these were often discarded or lost during service.
