Positive: -they are metal and can bend - embossing depth even - same size as original tags - rolled edge and lettering on same side as original tags - got information right -arrived in timely manner Negative: - rolled edge is twice the width as original issued tags and is tamped flat - metal used feels like plastic (it isn't I checked) - lettering was a bit uneven in spacing, but not dramatically -lettering should be shifted left around the hole for the chain. (I did shift left, but it wasn't quite far enough) - if attempting to recreate old tags (navy) you must use advanced settings and even then it won't have enough characters. Neutral: - if AD navy and plan to wear in uniform do not wear the chain sent. Instruction states chain must have USN stamped on. Can purchase from NEX uniform shop as of 2022. - template itself is too concerned with whether or not silencers cover lettering -unknown if metal will melt or warp under heat -unknown if silencers will go gummy under moderate heat (for stations in hot climates)
