Abstract
A double engraved identification card has a first planar member with a first engraved image in one of its major planar surfaces and a second planar member with a second engraved image in one of its major planar surfaces. The first and second engraved images are aligned in coincidence and the first and second planar members affixed to one another so as to form a single composite image. A slot is provided between the first and second planar members between the first and second engraved images. The slot has an edge access opening to selectively receive an opaque card through the edge opening into the slot region and prevent simultaneous observation of both the first and second engraved images.

A double engraved identification card for use with an opaque masking member comprising:
- a first planar member having a first major surface with a first image engraved thereon and a second major surface opposite the first major surface;
- a translucent second planar member having a first major surface with a second image engraved thereon, and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, the second engraved image coinciding with the first engraved image when the second planar member is aligned with the first planar member;
- and
- means for affixing the first and second planar members together with the first and second engraved images in coincidence whereby a slot is provided between the first and second planar member transversely adjacent the first and second engraved images for removeably receiving the opaque planar member in the slot for masking one of the first and second engraved images from view.
