Interesting, aluminium-based WH (Heeres) ie. Panzer-related ID-disc that still comes mounted on its period cord as worn bearing the stamped unit-designation: 'VIII (Sb)' (which I deem is the: '8. Schützen-Brigade')

This is interesting - and truly unusually encountered! - typical aluminium-based, WH (Heeres) and I deem 'Panzer'-related ID-disc (or: 'Erkennungsmarke') that is bearing the stamped unit-designation: 'VIII (Sb)' and as such (I deem) being intended for ie. worn by a soldier that served within the: '8. Schützen-Brigade' and that still comes mounted onto its period piece of (white-coloured ie. slightly stained-) cord as issued and worn. The disc comes in an overall nice condition and has never been cleaned nor polished: it just shows minimal 'torn-out' holes simply caused by having been worn as such. The disc is void of a soldier's blood-group type something that was more often seen. The disc is still a bit dirty and was most certainly never cleaned. Simply a nice and honest 'Schützen-Brigade'- (ie. 'Panzer'!) related ID-disc that was recently found as such at a German household: I deem that this particular example would merit further investigation!
