<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9606486, member: 79705&quot;]This one is a puzzler. I agree yours probably meant to have the &quot;i&quot; to be a recognizable name. I love the wolf detail on the helmet, with the upper strata used so well. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other two do not share the same skill of carving, but are most alike in signature style (the hooks on the c and a, the gapped t, the cursive). I&#039;m wondering if it was a family business, or apprenticeship as was suggested. </p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;Ann&quot; notation makes me crazy. I&#039;ve seen some renditions where it looks more like a Ce... and it often has that &quot;O&quot; shape as on this one. It&#039;s also always much smaller than the signatures, which are varied. I&#039;m thinking it must be the jeweler who set the pieces, or the store that sold them. It&#039;s usually on pieces much better carved than this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
