Found last Sunday at the flea market for $1. Made out of aluminum and on a brownish string that doesn't glow on UV light. All letters are stamped.

What is the purpose of having the same information twice on one tag?  Do they break in half?  What happens to the dogs tags when a soldier becomes a casualty?  

great find btw!!

Yes broken in half, one stays with the body the other turned in to HQ to have the death recorded. Sorry but I do not personally like this tag, looks like the ones we use for reenacting
