Hi
I heed one with better German translation skills than me :-)
It reads "Iherem hochverehrten Chef die Gen. Batt. 167 Weinachten 1941"
What is Gen. Batt.?? Grenadier Battalion? Batterie or?

Pantograph engraved - Volksgrenadier IMO is way too late. With what I see being: "Gen. Battr. 167" and "Gen." usually for a General such as General Staff (etc.) And the "Battr." a battery which is normally a much lower level unit. So I think that you may need an Order of Battle specialist because I'm not seeing the connection. Best Regards, Fred

It's not on my abbreviations list, but that would work. Best Regards, Fred
