Retired Army Noncom Posted July 21, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 21, 2017 I Troop, 12th Cav....BLK might be an abbreviation for blacksmith M Troop, 2nd Cav, B' S'TH (blacksmith) Just an assumption......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roydagger Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted July 21, 2017 Thank you so much, it never dawned on me blacksmith abbreviations, strange found them both on the same keyring, if they were both blacksmiths maybe friends or relatives, found some info on the doherty name but not the other...

roydagger Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted July 21, 2017 Yes the key is over 100 years old, as i am an avid key collector, 103 jeys in an old coffee can for 5 bucks, with 2 ww1 era dog tags i think its a good buy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Army Noncom Posted July 21, 2017 Share #9 Posted July 21, 2017 Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=311921339289&alt=web I hope this is allowed as it is a link to ebay im selling both tags starting at 99 cents Now that I have a closer photo, I think the tag I said was 2nd Cav is also 12th Cav. There seems to be a light strike of a '1' just before the the '2'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
