Don't know about dating it, but here's a way to possibly reunite it with the original wearer...

It could be dated with his service # you have partially blacked out. However that my be difficult. My # was B40 XX XX. At some point in time they started using a letter pre fix. I entered in 8/1966 and a few guys I served with had only #'s


According to the dates below is when the service branches started using SS #'s . If your tag has a 9 digit it may be dated after the changeover ?



Branch of Service Date of Changeover to SS #

Army and Air Force July 1, 1969
Navy and Marine Corps January 1, 1972
Coast Guard October 1, 1974

It appears to be a SSN on the dog tag. That would date it starting in 1969. My dog tags from 1963 had my Air Force # ... AF1677XXXX .... Also, my dog tags had the alignment notch ....

My guess would be early 90’s. Depending on the unit, they had different machines. I has some like that they kept in our records folder, the set I wore was more like standard “type” from an older machine.
