Here's my oldest dog-tag,found last fall at my regular field.Dog-tags were introdused to Berlin in 1832.They were all designed by the sculptor Franz Reinhold,until he died in 1877.
This item is a special one for a hunting dog.A dead rabbit lays in front of the dog.There were other patterns for blind peoples dogs and police dogs,too.All rare.
Size of mine:3,2cm x 2,3cm;made of brass
This one belonged to the dog of my grandma's mother.I found it in a locker at her kitchen,when I was a little boy.
Neukölln is an old part of Berlin,were I was born.
All types of BFOs owned. Especially want White's Arrow; White's Oremaster; Exanimo Spartan Little Monster; Garrett contract Little Monster.
