Out of the box I could tell the material was inferior to military issue. So if your looking for active duty inspection passable tags these are not it ONE TAG IS STARTING TO RUST I CANT BELIEVE I PAID MONEY FOR THESE FONT : not the same font used for standard ISsue tags . Also not the same font as pictured in proofs. EMBOSSING : They arrived reversed like pillow embossed instead of USMC standards SILENCERS Barely wrap around edges so the constantly unwrap themselves . Hardly silencing dog tags so you will be at risk in combat scenarios where your stealth will cost you your life. CHAIN: way cheap chain. Had no real weight to it so I assume it’s crappy MATERIAL : oh my god people this stuff is thin and has no weight to it. If I were you I would save your money and head out to the surplus store and have the real stuff made there. I’m thoroughly disappointed . I was looking for a set to replace marine corps standard tags.
