Sometime I wonder what someone will think when they find one of my dog tags in a box of junk at a sale. And if they will bother to take the time to look it up. Thanks for remembering and taking the time Keith.

Nice Keith

 

Maybe its made out of monel??Can have a brass look to it.

Is there a quick and easy way to tell the difference? It is not magnetic. It is actually brassier looking then the photo show?

This photo is more the actual color:
