Details

The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows overall normal signs of wear. It's complete with its neckcord. The tag belonged to a soldier who served within the Stammkompanie Brückenbau Ersatz Bataillon 4. The bataillon was formed in June 1941.
In April 1942 the bataillon was renamed into Pionier Lehr Bataillon für schweren Brückenbau, but this was reversed in August of the same year.

A Stammkompanie was a unit that trained the soldiers. Often the soldiers of this kompanie were soldiers who had frontline experience and/or where no longer fully usable on the front due to injuries. Of course this changed later in the war and they also where put into action (in the last months of the war) as there was a shortage of (front)soldiers.
The 'B' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodtype.
