However - the type is Clarendon Extra Bold, designed in 1953 as a display font (titles, movies, ads etc.) and used mostly in the 60s and 70s!
Metal stamp lettering is VERY expensive except in Western styles used by toolers & crafters.
Here's a real WW2 tag for comparison.
This type is, AFAIK, unavailable anywhere today. It doesn't even turn up in the type catalogs, so it's probably very old.
