NOTE:

  • WWII Notched dog tags are only available in Traditional Stainless Steel.
  • We automatically use Indent text (letters are stamped downward) on WWII dog tags. Indent is the standard text used during WWII. If you prefer another text option, please note it in the Comments.
  • Usually, 75% of the time, from 1941-1943, the first name was listed first followed by the last name.
  • Most service numbers were 8-digit numbers starting with a “3”. An “O” at the beginning of the number indicates Officer.
  • The year the tetanus shot was given to the soldier is listed after a “T”. It’s usually the same year the soldier enters military service. A booster shot for tetanus was given one year later which is shown on the dog tags. It is common for the booster shot year to be omitted.
  • The choices for blood type during WWII are: A, B, AB or O . The Rh factor of POS or NEG was NOT included.
  • The next of kin’s name and address are listed on Lines 3-5. Usually, 75% of the time, it’s the mother’s name.
  • The choices for religious preference were designated by the single letter C, P, or H. C (Catholic), P (Protestant) and H (Jewish). Those were the only choices.

Spacing

Sometimes, it is hard to see on the computer screen exactly how the text will look when the dog tags are stamped. 5 blank spaces between elements can be shown on the screen as 1 space and sometimes as multiple spaces.

If you select: “Exact number of spaces” this means if you put 5 blank spaces in the text after let’s say after a name, then we will put 5 spaces on the dog tags despite how it appears on your screen.

If you select: “Stamp text according to the format for the era” we are assuming you do not have an original dog tag and that we will format the text appropriate to the time period.

If you have an original dog tag, you can send it to us and we will figure out the spacing. See options below for uploading a picture.

Silencer Color

What is darkened text?
Indent text, because it is stamped downward, has a tendency, over time, to gather dirt within the letters. This makes the letters easier to read. If you would like, we can add black color to the letters for an additional $5.00 USD.

Rolled Front vs Rolled Back
rolled to frontRolled Edge to Front (the rolled edge can be seen when reading the text) is how we usually stamp Current Issue dog tags.
rolled to backWWII and Korea era dog tags were stamped with the rolled edge to the back (the rolled edge can not be seen when reading the text).

Rolled Edge to the Front or Rolled Edge to the Back—neither is better than the other; it’s simply your preference.
