[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2391469, member: 5833"]This must be one of the more challenging threads to wade through. I applaud your fortitude. That the signature could be written in Kurrent is an interesting idea. Can't tell you how many Italian lower case 'c's I've seen that look just like that. Making some comparisons from the page at the link you sent, I would say the signatures I see, legible & not, look more like the school handwriting. I have a whole collection of cameos with this signature: [ATTACH=full]262817[/ATTACH] Germany has been & continues to be a producer of hardstone cameos but is not known for work in shell. The odds are very high that a shell cameo will be Italian or French, with some possibility of English.[/QUOTE]
