RAWTAG was founded in 2023 by a British commercial pilot and based on the ethos of an original venture called AuroraAeroTags. Working with collectors around the world via a Facebook based collectors group and selling via Etsy, it has gone from strength to strength with some very unusual tags being produced. 

Specialising in hand-produced, small batch tag runs and aiming to obtain the rarest material available.

Each piece is produced individually using the same lightly worked techniques aiming to preserve as closely as possible the ‘In-service’ condition. Simply cut and shaped, smoothed to be hand safe, wiped with a sanitising fluid and mounted on a display card.

RAWTAG never applies a surcharge for tag variants. Your tag will be unique to you! Some are offered as a regular tag with backing card, others are offered as a Deluxe box with additional items. Be sure to check the listings for some of the rarest tags available today.

RAWTAG #16: FOCKE WULF FW189 ‘UHU’. V7+1A.

Another Mega-Rare piece was located and acquired to make RAWTAG #16.

The FW189 was a Luftwaffe World War Two spy plane.
Called the Fliegendes Auge (Flying Eye) of the German Army, the Fw 189 was used extensively on the Eastern Front with great success. It was nicknamed “Rama” (“frame” in the Russian, Ukrainian and Polish languages) by Soviet forces, referring to its distinctive tailboom and stabilizer shapes, giving it a quadrangular appearance. Despite its low speed and fragile looks, the Fw 189’s manoeuvrability made it a difficult target for attacking Soviet fighters. The Fw 189 was often able to out-turn attacking fighters by flying in a tight circle into which enemy fighters could not follow.

v7+1A was force landed on a frozen lake in Finnmarksvidda, Norway after suffering from multiple flak hits on 15 October 1944. The crew survived.
Much of the wreckage was recovered in 1993 and it is from this that we produced this very special tag.
