    As a Vietnamese who collect antique item like war memorabilia, i can safely say most of the dog tag are either fake or of no significance. People have to understand that authentic US dog tag would rarely ever be sold in the market as either they are kept by the Vietnamese museum/government-owned collection or returned to the US a long time ago.
    Dog tag from ARVN soldier are usually discarded by the soldier themselves when they trying to blend into the civilian population to avoid communist procuration. If they didn't turn into scrap metal then they are sold as souvenir to tourist like you.
    If anyone is looking to buy up the dog tag and try to return it to their family, i say don't bother as most of them are fake.

    These are not the actual dogs tags of the American soldiers that were killed, or went MIA during the Vietnam war. As you can see by the comments it is a very easy way to make money on American tourists. One thing that is well known, about the Americans, is most have a caring heart for something like this and will be preyed upon. Dont be fooled when traveling abroad.

    Around the time when the American War ended (culminating with the Fall of Saigon in 1975), the Dân Sinh Market transformed from a gambling area to an industrial market - a place to find tools, equipment and construction materials. The years after the war were difficult, and tourism was non-existent, so war memorabilia wasn’t as prevalent. With no foreign collectors to sell to, much of the surplus war goods were broken down into their component materials to be used in other ways.
    It wasn’t until foreign tourists returned to Vietnam in the 90s that the Dân Sinh Market morphed into what we see today. People came looking for war memorabilia, and they quickly bought up all the authentic pieces. It’s estimated that as much as 99% of the war memorabilia in the market now is fake. Vendors will even take orders to produce fake zippo lighters, helmets, dog tags and old kinds of insignias and uniforms, which are then sold to collectors around the world.

      The motivation to collect “the original” and the response to give that motivation a fake is profound. I am a collector of Craftsman Made in the USA tools. Much of the worldwide economy runs upon this collecting. Whether it’s a Van Gogh painting or a U.S. Vietnam era grenade. Ultimately, it’s all ashes. We’re seeking God and settling with idols.

    I went to Vietnam 5 years ago as a tourist. I had a few relatives that fought in the war (One pilot, one Marine, one army) all with their own stories. I grew up hearing about the war and it generally fascinated me. Going back to meet the Vietnamese people and talking to many, even some that fought against my family was amazing. They are a very proud and smart people. They were very good to me and the level of respect I received as well as the rapport after so many years was very powerful to me. I was proud to finally feel like we set aside differences and learned a lot from the war and each other. Vietnam is now my favorite place to visit in SEA.

      @@ScreenHackTV first of all your saying 90% of the dog tags are fake do you know probably not. second you are ignorant and don't actually know because there are no fake dog tags third for you to comment on other people's comments saying there fake and no one has asked is pretty inconsiderate of you. forth for you to assume the dog tags at that specific place are "90% fake" is pretty sad and ridiculous. Fifth of all you saying I'm not contributing to the conversation is funny because you commented after I did meaning there was no conversation until you started one.

      There is but you need to know what you are looking for (unlike most posters here). Most of the authentic stuff is more soviet or in relic, ie rusted, condition.

      Anyone in the world with internet access can use the information on the Virtual Wall to punch accurate names into piles of fake reproductions of the dogtags of American KIAs. Service or S.S. numbers, Blood types, and religious preferences would be a guess, but The Virtual Wall lists the rank, birthdays, dates and location of death and unit assignment which could help fraudsters cook up a backstory to boost the value of the bogus dogtag.
