Interesting pictures! Looks like I never knew Bishop's rank... EOA - I guess that stands for Equal Opportunity Advisor, right? Cheers, Stefan |

The the dog tags are engraved in brown bess. On the pictures it looks like EOA, but IMHO on the dog tag Bishop's title was ECA. (Executive Command Android). A kind of consultant/advisor. |

I've wondered about the white vs black lettering too.

Looking at the pictures from nickdaring you could say it’s either white, black, grey or perhaps brown. A closer look at Harry's picture does indicate brown bess to me. |

Maybe the "white" ones are actually BB ones with the paint flaked out? |

Thats a good point Simon, Anybody that does scoring would the letters appear like the white tags before paint was added? |

Kris, if the tags were routed or manually etched, they likely would look white prior to paint. I know the ones we did in Maryland several years ago were. As far as laser etching, Taj would be the person to ask. I don't know if the heat burns/chars the plastic to a darker tone. |

Thanks Kerri it certainly looks like that may be the case though |
