<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4284483, member: 33"][USER=22178]@daludolou[/USER] , How have you been interpreting the writing so far? I'm still trying to make out where the separations between the words are. So far one interpretation could be: <b>J. o due fers</b>. The "o due" part in the middle translates to "or two" in Italian. I wonder whether the first letter could actually be a number 1. Then it would say "1 or two" with another word after.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this is just a theory. It does look like there is a dot after the first letter, which would mean it is a letter and not a 1.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just trying to help, but I do think it's at least possible that what's written on the paper is a phrase and not a name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
