Hello, I moonlight at an antiques store.  This WWII German dog tag recently came in.  I am not very good at interpreting these, so any help is appreciated.  Owner thinks the "45" is for the year.  Tag comes on what I think is a WWII US private purchase silver dog tag chain.  Before I put it on the floor I wanted to see if anyone can read this.  Asking price will be $100.  I can take it home for that if I want it before I put it out.  Thank you.

Hi Leigh!  I now have dozens of pages of documentation on Giesselmann...he was on Himmler's private staff. I wonder if your guy is one and the same?

Items now SOLD. (Thank you, R.)  

Johann Zemsky and his gunner have found a new home in the meantime. (Items sold 03/20/26!) Thank you to the buyer.  

This Winterhilfswerke group - including the Danzig ist Deutsch postcard - has now been SOLD.  (Thank you, R.)  

ALL of these nice postcards are now confirmed SOLD!  (Thank you, R.)      

Colorized one, 6th Alpini Regt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_Alpini_Regiment

That was me Sarge. I got it in broken condition.

Postcards 3, 4 and 6 are still available as of 03/20/26. Apologies for my delayed reaction to your inquiry!   

An interesting repair to the Heer (Army) buckle with the brass wire.  

I'm glad you like it, thank you so much
