• STORY~ HISTORY (This is 100% True...OR 100% False...OR Somewhere in between):The only function of this device was to transfer information from the embossed Dog Tag onto the proper military documents; This could not emboss or deboss Dog Tags; There was only arubber pad and a inked ribbon so that the imprinted information could be transferred to paperwork; This device was carried in the field by the medical corps; The Germans thought they looked like pistols; This caused the Germans to shoot at the unarmed medics; This device was heavy and not all that practical in the field.
• THE NOTCHED DOG TAG:The very controversial and arguably one of the issues for discussion;\"THE NOTCH.\"
• Well according to the Addressograph company,The NOTCH had only one purpose:That was to align the dog Tag in the proper position in the machine. This was a Locating Notch for proper alignment.
• TEST:I have a\'NOTCHED DOG TAG\';I placed it in the Addressograph; There is a small protruding metal nipple or tab toward the rear of where the Dog Tag would slide; The tab lines up perfectly with the notch in the dog tag.
  
• Blank Dog Tag Included
  
• So, there you have it!
• CONDITION:This looks to be in \'VERY GOOD\' condition;
  
• It does look like it\'s been through a WAR...OH YEAH...It HAS!
