WWI US Marking Outfit For Stamping Metal

WWI soldier identification tags were hand-stamped. Stamping kits like this one were issued to a company’s supply sergeant and kept under tight control. This kit was used to replace and repair lost or damaged identification tags. It was also used to mark silverware or other metal items belonging to a soldier. The kit came complete with a brass anvil, hammer, and tin plates. the tiny anvil included has forms for cutlery, ration tins, and dog tags. The white circular decal shows the proper layout for Stamping my dog tags. The whole kit is nice and compact only 8 inches long side. This kit is complete and in near excellent condition with signs of age and use. Rare opportunity to own a complete WWI kit.
