Hi Guys,

Sorry if someone have already asked this before.

Can I ask about versions of Viscaria black tag.

As I understood, there are 3 versions: 1 with separated letters 2 with letters together (no space) 3 with serial numbers.

My question is, what year were each versions manufactured?

Thanks in advance.

Judging from my personal experience:

1st:  1993-1996 old metal tag, straightened lense (F L / S T)
2nd: 1997-2005 old metal tag (FL / ST)
3rd:  2006-2008 (G,H,I serials), old metal tag
4th:  2008-2014 (I-O) "old" silver tag
5th:  2015 (P) "new" silver tag

Well I tried to upload a pic but the 200 kb limit for photos is ridiculously small. Photos lose detail at that size.
Also, is there any truth to the claim that fish scale Viscarias play better? How so? Call me skeptical of this claim.

Joined the Viscaria club just today. What rubbers to put on it? 

Any suggestions other than the usual suspects, i.e. Tenergy, H3?

I use 05 on both sides. 64 on the backhand would be ideal though.

It all depends on the exchange rate and if you have someone in japan to help and not upcharge too much. Just go on to butterfly.co.jp they have all the pricing i bet you can use google translate. They might not list all the old options but most are still available.

JPenmaster, I am glad you posted that Japanese site. 

I ordered mine by contacting Butterfly North America.  They seemed to not be very enthusiastic about placing this order for me, I kind of had to bug them repeatedly to respond to me.  They told me 8-12 weeks before I would receive the blade, and 12 weeks will take me to the middle of January. If for some reason there is some sort of distinct delay beyond that, I made need to do this through the Japanese website.

Good News members!
Butterfly has released news that there will be some changes to the printing on the blade. 
One big change will be the spelling mistake they have made for decades. 
The 'PERFOMANCE' will be corrected to 'PERFORMANCE' LOL

The date of the release of the new printing has yet to be confirmed.

Kenet, is this really a good news ?...That mistake has contributed to the blade's story. Or maybe the value of the oldest models will keep on increasing simply because of that new difference ? :))) 
There will be "new" fake ones, for sure.

hahaha, you have a point. But dont forget one thing the fake ones cant replica yet is the new hologram handle the Serial Q viscarias have. Butterfly is making a lot of changes to their product lately.
