    It is made of aluminum and the letters are stamped in.It looks old as the aluminum is starting to corrode and has some pitting
    The string is also the old bass rope type, not modern string.It just looks old.

    Typical modern fonts of the kind you can buy at Princess Auto. And I'd say the oxidization happened before the stamping.

    Museum tags display accession numbers and similar information. Arcane references to a particular battle do not fit with any known method of artifact categorization or recording to my knowledge.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
