This is a recent purchase from the big auction site, origin Russia. It measures 1 1/4" wide X 1 3/4" high. The unit code is 15502, company 3, soldier 36 if I'm reading it correctly.
I'm slightly sceptical of its authenticity but not entirely. I'm not sure I've seen brass "stained" like this before, its definitely some kind of corrosion. The roman numbers are unusual too but they read as a normal dog tag would, parent unit first, etc. Maybe a 'Last ditch' tag if it passes the sniff test?
I'm interested in any opinions you guys have (this is my first dog tag). It would be great to hear if there is a unit with this number!
Thanks so much, Rod
