SS rank tab on estand

[MartyC]

I am interested in buying the rank tab on the estand, but do you guys see any issues with it?

Thanks for any help with this one.

To me, this tab displays the classic characteristics of a fake BeVo rank tab. The weave on the front looks too tight. More obviously, the woven area is sized too small. The woven area should be large enough so that some of it wraps around to the reverse. The woven area on this one is, by contrast, only sized exactly to the dimensions of the backing, leaving none to fold over onto the reverse, so that all you see on the back side is the smooth, unwoven surrounding material.

I do agree, that the rank tab is not one I would want.
Actually these images should be posted here for educational purposes since they depict very clearly the difference between an original BeVo and a fake in a side by side comparison.
As noted the BeVo considered to be a fake has a finer rib pattern and finer texture on the overfolds. Also the tan back material is not any one I have seen on any original BeVo tab before. However the last satement is just a side note and not the main issue here.

I will take the libery of doing so if the Moderator agrees and if the poster agrees. If any protests I will remove.

I should have put it on here to seek your opinions before I put it on E-stand. It's really embarassing! Well, I took it for granted it's real but hearing your opinions of the above people that I respect, I began to see how different they are from each other. It's shocking but it's a good educational occasion for me. Need to do more homework. With hearing so much concern, I need to withdraw from the E-stand. Thanks a lot for your serious educated opinions!

Youre welcome!
Great way to handle the situation! We are all here to learn and most of us, even if experienced, still has things to learn.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I had more PMs from knowledgeable people. Now I'm convinced that this tab is a bad one. Well, I'll find a real one next time. Thank you again for inputs everyone!
