Personally I think the spacing between the runes in the first tab and on the ones in post #12 is too wide. They seem to be very well made, but I'm not convinced.

Constructive .... I like that
To answer your question the base mater is a soft badge cloth .... Its
and not something you would expect to find on a modern fake / repro which is normally fluffy and course

PS yes the wire is tarnished ... ExactlyLast edited by Stossgruppe3; 01-03-2016, 05:31 AM.

Unfortunately my opinion on both tabs is not good. These reverse runic tabs must be very rare and the overall general construction is not what I feel comfortable with, especially the second tab you posted with permission.
Having said that, the very first one posted looks like it may possibly stand a chance, but again, I remain doubtful.

Thank you CB ...
You are entitled to say what you like ... It's your opinion
But as Robert has already stated it would be good if we could all take a deeper look into why these tabs were made. As so many do get passed by.
Lets look at these forward facing tabs shown (not the allgemeine) let's assume they are copies ... why would you make a copy of an original when they are so rare ?
On the other hand if these are copies you don't see them that often.
Regards David

As you have already stated both have unterlagen and are quite well done
These would costly to make along with being time consuming
But still classed as very doubtful

Therefore I would like to show this runic tab I have had for a while.
Now before you all start slating me and the tab ... Take a closer look
Yes it has forward leaning runes ... (see inclosed pic taken from book)
There is unterlagen underneath
The bullion is nice and tight and NOT glittery
It has a piping around the edge which I have to say is very similar to that of the last tab I posted ...
which if you remember had a rusted look to it.
(sadly I can't find the thread right now)
The backing is an area that gives me a little concern ...
There isn't any overlap of material which could be okay
but this kind of buckram ?
Over to you my friends ... What's your opinion ?
Thank you and Regards David

Yes that's the one ... Spot on Dave
Thank you

David
Now I have the shots of the tab I now own ... you can see how easy it is to bypass these items sometimes.
As you can see the piping on this tab is exactly like the piping on the very first one I put up for review

I like the piping on both examples I believe it is just tarnished,just the same way any silver item would be with age.

Possibly these type of runes are not quite as rare as thought?
I would certainly think that the normal accepted rules (for what they are worth,,,) regarding materials and construction would apply to these tabs as well.
However, like the Danish tabs and others, empirical information on these may not exist.
