If you have any nice naval tags please post them would love to see others that are out there. Thanks.

That is a great looking piece with a nice patina. I like it a lot. Anyone have a picture of one in wear? Congratulations.

Regards,

Those are really neat! I love how the blood type is included in the last two.

Here is one of my cave finds. This one was found in one of the tunnels that has not been cleaned out in Admiral Ota's Headquarters Cave (There are several tunnels in his Underground Headquarters that are sealed off form the touriests and have not been cleaned out). It is simliar to Jareths first tag with the same type holes.....unfortunately the Painted Kanji has long washed off. The Navy buckle above was dug up in the same general area.
