dan Posted December 5, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2011 I got these dog tags and pistol badge from a friend. The items belonged to her grandfather. Does anyone know why there is no serial number on the dog tags? There is nothing on the back, no numbers or fingerprint. The date on the front is his enlistment date. He was in for 3 years and was discharged in 1925. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted December 6, 2011 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2011 These tags are "as issued". The Corps did not start putting "file" or service numbers on their tags until WWII or just before. WWI era USMC tags of Marines who served in FRance with the A.E.F. have their AEF serial number on the reverse. Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
