I found another set of dog tags last weekend that has the Sterling J-hook chain (posted earlier). Were these issue or private purchase? Also, what time frame? The vet from whose estate sale I acquired these was in the army early enough to have the US Defense ribbon in his effects. Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas

M1940 dogtag chain issued from 1940 until I believe late 44, early 45. Those chains are so much nicer looking than the later beaded chain.

Thanks UPNATM. So, they actually had an "M" number? Thanks much and I agree that they are much better than the later beaded chain like the one issued to me during VN . Thanks, Al.
