I had. a new tag made up for one of my Tigers maybe 12 years ago. I bought
the tag from Rick and I mailed it to either a Pacific Tiger or STOA club
member. It came back with the correct looking fonts. I don't remember who
it was but maybe someone else here does.If I can find that email chain I'll
forward the info.
