SS five digit tabs on e-stand

[CurtD]

These tabs are currently on the e-stand.

We have discussed the possibility of five digit tags before, but no real consensus was reached. Does anyone else have any 5 digit SS RZM tags?

This is a late-war tag (in Latin script). Does it make sense to go from 6 digit tags to 5 digit tags? And is the B tag correct for a blank tab and the A tag correct for the one with litzen and pips? It seems like it would be the opposite.

I have copied the pics here for posterity.

Does anyone have any comments on these? I don't want to slow up bonneville's sale.

Rzm tag is fake and doesnt belong to the blank tab at all. B is the usual letter found on a finished rune tab.
Its not so common to find a rank tab with a rzm tag.

Just my obeservations.

Curt,
yes i also have problems with the tag as well

[CurtD]

Is there anything wrong with that first tag other than the 5 digits? If it had 6, I would think it was genuine.

The only thing on the obverse that bothered me was the thickness of the border.

Curt,
the tags are a strange mix Latin script on one gothic on the other!
the first label does look well executed and is probably an older example, I do not like the addition of the other RZM tag on the rank patch either, it looks like it has its sides cut in a circle, it also looks far worse for wear as well yet the tab looks fairly mint,
cheers
