Original Luftwaffe ID-disc & Leather pouch

Measuring 7cm across German Army discs (Erkennungsmarke) were initially made of aluminium but as the war progressed this became harder to come by. From around 1941 discs were also produced in zinc or other pot metals were used. As one might expect the material a disc is produced in will not necessarily lead one to conclude that the inscription relates to an early disc, if aluminium or a late disc if in zinc or steel. A units ordnance section, it was this part of the company that was usually responsible for stamping discs would very often keep blank spares, so it is the details stamped onto the disc and not the disc itself which can often tell us more about the wearer!   

The disc was made up of two halves, usually with identical details, unit, blood group and depot roster number (Stammrollnummer) on each half. Regulations stated that discs should be stamped with the roster number below the unit designation. In practice, with the shape of the disc being oval. there are many exceptions to this rule, as seen here.

In the event of a soldier being killed the top half was buried with the body, the bottom half returned to Company HQ for their records. The first three discs shown are zinc. The sixth one is alloy, and belonged to a soldier in Motorised Flak Battalion 1/608. Blood group A Roster number 1, this low number could indicate the commander of this unit.
