Hi everyone,
I'm working on an article about metal factory issue tags. At the moment I have 4 Eickhorn tags for inspection. While making some extreme clos-ups and even microscope pictures I detect many slight differences in the printing design on the paper insert.
As an example I post this compilation of four squirrels of the paper insert. Spot the little differences in the details...
I ask especially the help of people who own or handle these tags. Have you similar squirrels? Note that the first one has a dot in the eye and the other ones only a black spot. Some have paper that keeps black against the edges that going into the metal part while others show the beginning of cream colored paper at that point.
It seems also that there are no fake Eickhorn tags at the moment but I heard rumors of computer printed paper insert to replace lost pieces?
Many thanks in advance,
