    I have these dogtags that i have in my collection and I was wondering if i could find out person who owned them...

    And i found 2 german boxes of some kind that i cant figure out what it says, but im not german...

    The american dogtags says:
    Reaves, F.C.
    2099046 O or 0
    USMC Its says S on one of the dogtags
    MORMAN

    On the British Dogtags it says:
    21183181
    CE
    Stokes F.


    My dad thinks the german boxes may be from the war, but im not so sure.
    It says:
    Streumaterial für Deka-Relieffarben
    Vorsichtig öffnen!
    Deka-Textilfarben A:G. München

    I will post the pictures down here:

    For the german, this is all i could come up with. "Carefully open scatter material for Deka relief color! Deka textile color A: G. Munich" hope that helps some. and It's O on the dog tags for Blood type.

    And for the german, Free Translater FTW! It's seems accurate for the most part.

    Too small for me to see but the containers are also too small for what I thought they could have been-ala-containers for chocolate and or fats-but containers also not made of the same materials as those products would have come in.

    the box looks like it could have some time of greese or salve that you would put in your gun.

    1) flat objets can be put directly in a high resolution scanner

    2) or take them from a fair distance with a high resolution camera and resize the pics by keeping the tags only.

    I think the Marine dog tag is post war. You might be able to find out more of the owner through this site:

    good luck
