    Hi,

    I'm trying to find someplace that can make make exact replicas of my grandfathers dog tags if I send them pictures of them. He served in the US Navy in WW2. The dog tags are very different from each other (his last name is spelled different on each, different location of info, the spacing is different). Does anyone know of any place that can do this?

    Thanks,
    Al

    Those are the ones. I actually just emailed ration technologies and sterling silver dog tags. Those were the only 2 companies i could find though and figured I'd see if there were other I try as well.

    thanks

    I've found plenty of places that will print custom dog tags, but I haven't seen many that have the oval discs with the shoelaces or that will change the spacing location.

    Yeah, I didn't think about that until I read formerjugheads post. Good luck with your mission, and let us know how it worked out for you.
