I don't know if a 5 ft. Tann Bankers Mk.8 would fit your needs but there may be one for sale very soon here in Cleveland.

Appreciate the offer, but stuck on a TST if at all possible

Over here the bankers treasury had TBT bolt code and mark 1 and 2 super treasury were stamped TST, so the ES presumably relates to Intersecs re-naming for the American market like Gary says.
Im not aware of an ES bolt code for any British market Tann though, so Im of no help with that.

I reckon safeman will have more for you as he knows loads about Tanns American market adventures.

I meant to add a reminder from a previous post.

John Tann never claimed that their TSB, TBT, of TST held a ULTRTL30x6 label and it is quite deceitful for these to be offered for sale as "ALTHOUGH NOT TESTED BY UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES IT IS A TRTL-30X6 RATING" This does not imply that they are any less secure as the Test Houses in the rest of the world do not necessariy follow the same principals.

The Tann Swedish factory did however produce and successfully test a Tann TRTL30x6 which was intended mainly for the US market.
