<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 448331, member: 33&quot;]Oh, I didn&#039;t explain that very well. Prior to 1918 that character, which is actually called a &quot;hard sign&quot; was used in the manner used at the end of Olenin&#039;s name on your cameo. However, after the alphabet reform it was not used that way any more. So that just reemphasizes, along with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, that your cameo must date from before 1918. -- Unless, of course, it was a copy made later. I don&#039;t feel that it is, but that&#039;s just an impression from seeing your photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
