<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 9732357, member: 602"][USER=3062]@gerspee[/USER], SO sorry it took so long to get back!! I spent considerable time in trying MANY things on that stamp, or 'wax seal', but in reality found very LITTLE legible!! There were what looks like writing along two edges of the "ring" I circled it with....you'll see, but the <b><u>ONLY</u></b> 'item' that came up positive was a fairly clear <b>"53"...</b> AND at the BOTTOM of the "ring", it looks like it "COULD" be a signature, or someone trying to fake one. I honestly think it's not meant to be figured out!!! Just trying to look authentic... but I'm also no expert! Since I'm at the bottom of this page, it will probably flip me to the next, where you can compare my meager attempts and your original!! Changing Hues/Saturation, Contrast, Brightness, Colors (brighter or darker!) then lightening, sharpening, etc.....too many to keep track of....but I still Love to do it.....just wish I could be more successful!!!</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]474201[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]474202[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
