About this product
John Player Special is a filter cigarette that a cigarette-pack collection records under the EAN-8 barcode 42047124 on a German plastic tin of 30 from 2011, with Reemtsma named as the producer.[1] The collection lists it beside an Austrian tin of 30 from the same year, which carried a different barcode and whose import ended in December 2012.[1] The brand is owned and marketed by Imperial Brands; the line takes its name from John Player & Sons of Nottingham and was launched in the United Kingdom in 1970.[2][3] A CodeCheck contributor record under the same number names Gauloises Blondes instead.[4]

- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 1 / 1 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 2 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- identity · disputed: A CodeCheck search for 42047124 on 2026-09-25 returns a contributor record named "Gauloises Blondes" with no photo. Gauloises Blondes is also a Reemtsma brand in Germany, so the number may have been reallocated to it after the JPS tin; no dated source settles which pack carried it when
- relationships · unknown: EAN-8 42047124 has no company prefix: GS1 allocates each EAN-8 number individually, so no gs1_prefix_owner edge is written
- markets · stale: The only record of this barcode on the JPS tin is the collector's German 2011 entry; the Austrian import of the sister 30-cigarette tin ended in December 2012
- images · unknown: No freely licensed photograph of this tin was found; the zigsam.at pack photographs carry no licence
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
- images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
- schema · schema_gap: Some specifications retain source labels without comparable property keys.
