WWI Stamp Kit

What in the world would a man do with a set of old WWI stamps?

The description says:
[quote] **NEW ADDITION** 6937 WW1 Marking Kit - Well made wooden box with complete set of number and letter stamps, brass hammer, and brass anvil. Used for marking dog tags, and personal equipment (mess gear, bayonet scabbard, etc with appropriate marks..............There are a couple more easily lost and usually missing pieces to complete this set, mainly clamps and guides to locate the stampings on the items, but from what has been observed, it looks like most were eyeballed anyway. Stamps excellent. Wood box probably refinished, brass items well used. $69.00 <hr></blockquote>

Put fake markings on US Model 1912 and 1916 holsters. I really don't think they were intended to be used on metal, just leather.
