Comment

There are several stories about this token. The most plausible is the following: "Used at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) office in the Reuss federal building. As a potential listee went through the various branches and underwent a medical examination, his belongings could be squeezed into a locker. Circa 1992."
