Gents,
A friend asked me to identify this tab, IMO it's good. So your opinions? Thanks!
Sorry only the 3 pics.

So you mean it's good?

Yes Yun, it appears to be a good one

Yes Yun, it appears to be a good one

Thank you istra! But my friend suspect it was artificial aged due to some odd patina on the rune, anything wrong?

Nothing wrong with that tab.

It’s beautiful.

It is not possible to see the back of the tab, of course. But based on front views, I must agree that this tab is probably authentic.

Artificial age??? This tab is virtually mint. The only "patina" I can see is a hint of oxidation to the aluminum wrapped around the central thread core forming the bullion strands. This can easily be from salt in the natural oils and perspiration on the fingers of those who have touched the tab throughout its 70 to 80 year existence.

Can't see neither the "patina" nor its oddity.

Gents, I appreciate all your kind answers, thanks for taking the time!

Best, Yun
