KingsMountainTigers Posted June 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2020 I recently purchased this WW2 Marine dog tag and wanted to get other opinions on the authenticity of this dog tag. My only concern is the use of USMC rather than USMCR. Most WW2 dog tags that I see are stamped with USMCR. I also added some of his service history. I believe this soldier served on Iwo Jima. Any opinions on the authenticity of this dog tag are welcomed. Link to post Share on other sites

Blacksmith Posted June 29, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 29, 2020 Good tag, great pic - although he probably would wanna fight you over calling him a soldier... 😆 Link to post Share on other sites
