Ever seen one of these stamps before?

This is on a pristine Carbine and the info given is that servicemen were given a stamp they used on clothes so they could be identified during & after laundering? Was that an occurrence?

Yes, I was issued name stamps for marking uniform items.

Ok, thanks. This is an all original Carbine. Fired very little.
