[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4613457, member: 8363"]Same tag. See this before you buy: [URL='https://www.treasurenet.com/threads/does-anybody-think-this-fine-ebay-treasure-is-the-real-deal.676942/#post-7008535']✅ SOLVED - Does anybody think this fine eBay treasure is the real deal? | TreasureNet The Original Treasure Hunting Website[/URL] "That so-called "Andersonville Prison" ID-tag is laughably fake, for several reasons. Primarily, there is no historical record of Andersonville ever issuing such an item. Secondly, note that the letters are stamped individually, one-at-a-time, instead of the letter-dies being mounted on a bar and being struck all at once. (See an example of a bar-stamped marking on the civil war artillery Gunner's Level in the photo below.) Also, the "stretched-letter X" meant to represent the Confederate Army's battleflag is obviously hooey. The many asterisk/starburst stampings scattered all over the item are kinda needlessly decorative for a prison ID-tag, don'tcha think? I could continue, but I'm sure that's enough, for everybody except the Ebay seller of this completely fake relic."[/QUOTE]
