C code RZM tag has no place on this tab.
No way, now how!

[cbuehler]

Thanks folks,
The material is definetely velvet, not wool. I can vouch for the rzm tag, but am I to assume the tab itself is good?

Wrong. It is doeskin.

[Jack D.]

And "doeskin" is a fine smooth soft "woolen" fabric.

You say this is velvet ...
Are you sure its not mole-skin which is also soft to touch.

I too have a question regarding most of these tabs and that is they all seem to have this curvature on the left side does anyone know why this should be ... ?

Original EM tab, but the BS RZM tag draws into serious question whether the bullion piping was an actual period upgrade. IMO, it is almost certainly a post-war creation, intended to sell a standard EM tab for more than it is worth.
