Chip Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) I have a hell of a time trying to get these to come out so you can read them. Any tips Hardy? I suppose I could try some PhotoShop'ing to bring out the stampings. This one is hard to see but interesting. It's "Starkstrom Komp. Nr.115" and on the other side, "Ers.Btl.f.techn.-Sonderform."

Chip Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Here is another. Once again the reverse side showing the field unit. "M.G.S.s. Abt.56". I have a box of these I have accumulated over the years. Are you looking for anything specific? Chip Edited December 5, 2010 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jef Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hello guys, Thisone doesn't give much information. Only 31 IR. Is there anyone who can explain this, please? Kind regards, Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minen Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hi all, That is a great web site for Imperial ID tags! I think so (it's mine ), thanks for comment. The different type of dog tags are : 1869 (I don't have example), 1878, 1915, 1916, 1917. I will show some examples of each type.

Kind regards, Jef I'm not sure that it's a dog tag (no name, no registered number...). This one is a 1915 dog tag but it was engraved for other use (perhaps electrical of telephone lines).

speedytop Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 One of my ID tags: I didn't find him in my different "Ranglisten", but I think, it is original. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uwe Very nice Officers had to buy their dog tags themselves. These tags are often not regular and sometime they are in silver, like your's.

Chip Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I didn't find him in my different "Ranglisten", but I think, it is original. Uwe Uwe, I looked in the Ehren=Rangliste and he is not in there. He's not in the name index and I even checked IR.55 and he's not there either. Perhaps he was a Reserve or Landwehr officer and didn't bother to put that on his tag. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
