Each tag is individually pressed by Philippe on a restored 1960s Model IV Impact Press. Unlike modern laser engraving, this antique machine leaves a physical imprint — each character showing subtle variations in depth and texture depending on the pressure — making every tag one of a kind.
Offered in three heritage metals — brass, stainless steel, and aluminum — each dog tag features rolled edges and comes paired with a military-spec #3, 2.4 mm ball bead chain available in brass, stainless steel, or 18K gold-plated stainless steel. All chains are cut to the standard 26″ military length unless otherwise specified.
Necklace Includes:
Two aluminum rolled-edge dog tags, true to original military form
1 stainless steel ball chain brass clasp
1 stainless steel ball bead chain necklace (military spec 26”, 2.4mm ball bead chain)
Choice of custom hand-pressed lettering on both dog tags
*Your tag will age gracefully — expect light wear and a natural patina that develops with time.
