Based on the expert info below, this IS a first production / NO SPACE Princess Diana Beanie Baby. PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE BIDDING, THANK YOU!! From tycollector.com: "First Princess production in China A "first version" of Princess has the following swing tag. Note that the text on the right side of the swing tag does NOT have a line space above "DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES". The left side of the tag states "Handmade in China". We refer to this swing tag as ST #1. Made in China, original production period (ST #1) Princess swing tags are often referred to by collectors as "space" or "no-space". This is a reference to the last four lines of text on the right inside of the swing tag. The "no-space" swing tag was attached to Princess bears produced in China during the first production period and also for some of the production in Indonesia. A "first edition" Princess MUST have the "no-space" swing tag attached. "No-space" swing tagThe tush tag of a Princess with the "no-space" swing tag can show it is made from either P.V.C. or P.E. pellets. All of the Princess Beanie Babies sent to retailers in December 1997 were filled with P.V.C. pellets. That fact has been corroberated by professional authenticators from that time who fanatically followed and studied every Ty product release. In order for a Princess Beanie Baby to be a "first version," it must have a P.V.C. tush tag whether it is made in China or Indonesia. Ty switched to P.E. pellets for all of his Beanie Babies during the period Princess was being produced. It is possible Ty had P.E. tush tags stockpiled in anticipation of the production change to P.E. pellets. Chinese factory workers may have accidentally (or even intentionally) used up the remaining P.V.C. pellets even though they had started using the new P.E. tags (until the supply of P.V.C. pellets was exhausted). That could explain the "theory" or "rumors" of the P.E. tags on Princess Beanie Babies filled with P.V.C. pellets. But there is no hard evidence for this scenario. P.V.C. tush tag front (China)"
