The dog tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows signs of wear. The bataillon was formed in the summer of 1939 as Pionier Ersatz Bataillon 80 and trained soldiers for the 7 different Pionier Bataillons. It fell under Division Nr.177.
In 1942 the bataillon was renamed Panzer Pionier Ersatz Bataillon 80 and from then on trained soldiers for the Panzer Pionier Bataillons 27 and 38.
A Stammkompanie was a unit that trained the soldiers. (Often the soldiers of this kompanie were soldiers who had frontline experience, but no longer were fully usable at the front due to injuries or had a lot of combat experience that was used to train others). Of course this changed later in the war as there was a shortage of (front)soldiers.
Interesting and not often seen dog tag.
