Old Tacks width branding?

[swede 45]

Hi guys!

Found some "new old stock" ccm tacks in my size online. I love the old tacks models so i cant pass on this opportunity. It's 1 pair of 652's with the classic white wedge in the heel. The other is a pair of Vakutacks 852's. The Only issue with them are that they do not seem to have any width marking on them. However they do have this other code. Like a batch nr.

I have never seen a marking like this before so.. Could it be a old width marking, batch nr or what?

Here are the markings:

652's: xd9707 DA

852's: Dz1560 RD

Thanks in advance.

My guess is the 652's are D width and A heel due to the "DA" and the 852's are "regular" width A heel due the "RA." "Regular" is pretty ambiguous but other companies have used it to designate their D width; i.e., Graf, Easton (at some point), and Bauer roller hockey skates (also at some point, not sure if they still do).

I guess "old" Tacks are a matter of perspective.

I guess "old" Tacks are a matter of perspective.

Just wait until people 3 years from now are referring to the current models as "old tacks"
