WWII M1940 Dog Tag Chain Reproduction |
|
|
|
Welcome. Here you will find information about my M1940 Dog Tag Chain reproductions (DESIGN PATENTEND!). Each chain is hand-made by me to exacting wartime standards. Prior to 1940, a monofilament chord was issued to hold the tags. After 1945, the beaded chain was issued. From 1940 to 1945, this was the chain in use. It features a stainless steel curb link chain with the proper sister hooks to secure the tags in place. Perfect for the World War II reenactor or veteran. Why spend $1000.00+ on an impression, including period underwear, and have an incorrect beaded chain dangling from your neck - in plain site - that any vet would notice. Get yours now! These chains are $10.00 (US) each, plus $1.00 shipping for the 1st chain and .50 per each additional chain shipping in the continental US - overseas shipping additional. I accept personal checks, money orders, cashiers checks, and Paypal (additional $0.75 per chain). To order, please email me at [email protected] |
