Hello,

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

Greetings,Sven

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.

    The depiction of the dog is very artistic and appreciative of the form.

    "In this fragment, entitled "Wheaty Pennies of the Underground," this person introduces himself, his views, and tries to explain the causes owing to which he has made his appearance and was bound to make his appearance in our midst, talking about dirty wheaty pennies. -Editor"
