Popular Post Gerry in Idaho Posted January 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2019 Pulled 1 last really cool find before years end. Went to a late 1800’s site and found a few keepers with the Equinox 800. My favorite is this Pre WW1 military dog tag. I don’t want to clean it up much more than is, but I think it says: MILTON P CROWE. L 1ST CAVALRY. If I understand it correctly, then the L is for Lieutenant. 1ST should be 1ST CAVALRY. Also saved this US Cavalry crossed sabers Insignia Pin, a nice large non primer rifle casing, an old lead bullet, Eagle Coat Button and then another “whats it” do-dad. It’s made of brass and has like a pull end with two guide lengths (sorry about my description, check the photo). Any help of ID or knowledge in it is appreciated as well. But the dog tag is the shits… Anyone familiar with old military dog tags and how to research them, please email me the site. 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Year! Cal It is my first older style tag. I've found a few of the modern ones, but this takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSkyGuy Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Gerry, Wow great find. I think I would attribute the "L" to "Company L", but I am no expert. Congratulations!! BSG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
