The 5th tattoo sounds like it could identify him if they could read the writing. From the description... two scrolls, an arrow, a heart with 'true love' above... seems like a relationship/wedding tattoo, with one name on one scroll and the other name on the other. I would guess likely himself and a partner, or his parents.

It would help greatly if they posted in Namus the tattoos of this UID. The general public, myself included, could attempt to clean up the tattoo to make it legible.

I know!!! I thought of you!!

I thought of the other guy with the 1949 and horse shoe tatoo.. he had an eagle too. It would be interesting to see if the eagles were similar. I was also wondering if the date signifies when they were born or when they went into service ...

Yes coffeandacig I thought of the other guy with the 1949 and horse shoe tatoo.. that you had been trying to figure out.. he also had an eagle too. It would be interesting to see if the eagles were similar. I was also wondering if the date signifies when they were born or when they went into service ...

I could not find the other thread I was trying to compare because I thought it was a bit interesting..

Whowww...the tattoos and the place of them are to coincidental to not give it a go Madamx. The picture of UID is not very sharp but it looks like there could be some scarring near the hairline. The noses look a bit different to me but (UID more bulging, MP more pointy) but we see MP from the side so I would look over that.

Yes Bit of Hope I noticed the same thing about the nose but then I thought well it's years later and he could of gotten into fights injured his nose and or gotten involved heavily in cocaine which in time can change the shape of the nose also..and added more tattoos.

Anybody reading who would be able to do this please?
Maybe the moderator?

Agreed, no problem. I just got the standard reply that these two cases do NOT appear to have been compared before. I believe you have a match.

Both files are still up but comparison always takes a long time, even if they actively working on this.
