$9.99 Customize & Buy Now

World War II era style dog tags (4th type March 1944 to April 1946). Rolled edge down, with debossed text and notch. Made of stainless steel (not monel).

The notch was originally used for positioning the tag in the debossing machine.

The sequence of the name changed on March 31, 1944 from 'First Name, Last Name' to 'Last Name, First Name'. Dog Tag silencers were introduced around the end of World War II in 1944 (but rarely seen) to help prevent the metal tags clinking together.
