About WWIIDogTags.com
WWIIDogTags.com is dedicated to preserving the history of the American soldier through one of the most recognizable artifacts of World War II: the military dog tag.
During World War II, every U.S. service member carried a pair of identification tags stamped with their name, serial number, blood type, and religious preference. These small pieces of metal served a critical purpose on the battlefield, but they also became lasting symbols of the men and women who served.
Today, original WWII dog tags remain powerful reminders of the individuals behind the history. WWIIDogTags.com was created to help preserve that legacy.
Historically Accurate WWII Dog Tags
The reproduction World War II dog tags we offer are based on careful research of original tags, wartime regulations, and period manufacturing methods. During the war, the U.S. Army used several different dog tag formats between 1940 and 1946, each with specific layouts and information.
Our goal is simple: create reproduction dog tags that look and feel like the originals.
Each tag is produced using historically accurate layouts and materials whenever possible, including the correct notched tag styles used during the war. Every detail is designed to reflect what American soldiers actually carried during World War II.
Our reproduction tags are commonly used for:
- World War II reenacting and living history events
- Museum exhibits and educational displays
- Film and television productions
- Memorial tributes honoring family veterans
- Collectors and history enthusiasts
Honoring the Soldiers Behind the Tags
Every dog tag represented a real person. A farmer’s son from Iowa. A factory worker from Detroit. A student from New York. Millions of Americans answered the call to serve during World War II, and their identification tags often became the only personal item that remained with them in combat.
By recreating these tags, we are reminded that history is not just about battles and dates. It is about the people who lived it.
Many customers use our tags to recreate the identification of a relative who served during the war. Others wear them as a tribute to the Greatest Generation.
