A clearer photo in focus will help !!!

I'll move this into the Erkennungsmarke forum !!

as good as my cheap camera can manage im afraid.

Unfortunately we can't really help without a clear picture- it needn't necessarily be large, just focused; perhaps take a shot from further back or steadied using the edge of a table or something? The form of the letters is what is used to authenticate a disc like this.

That's a copy. No way this tag can be good

still waiting for a camera.i have soaked tag for two days in molasses which gradually removes the rust,i have wiped the surface with silver paint and highlighted the stampings with graphite,i would be very surprised if it was a replica as came from a top notch english dealer.
