You have arrived at Memorial Brass, the only Web site on the Internet where you can purchase hand-stamped solid brass I.D. tags that look just like the ones that were worn by Civil War soldiers. For a very affordable price, re-enactors, history buffs, military enthusiasts and family members wishing to honor their Civil War-era ancestors can own a living memorial to the men who served in the only war fought by Americans on American soil.

When you order one of these authentic looking I.D. tags you'll hold a small piece of history in your hand. Each I.D. brass tag comes complete with a 27-inch silver chain and features an eagle from a 1858 gold dollar on one side and the words "War of 1861." The other side can be hand-stamped with a person's first initial, last name, regiment, company name and branch of service.

Civil War I.D. Tags make great gifts and are musts for re-enactors who want to be authentic right down to the smallest detail.
