<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 218498, member: 44"]I agree, Dave. It certainly looks like the Freemasonary's Square & Compass(es) symbol though the square isn't in quite the right position of the usual symbol. It doesn't have the "G" in the middle either. Nowww some masonic jurisdictions omit the "G." On zooming in and focusing, the lettering looks like:</p><p><br /></p><p>--EP</p><p>---TAIN or ---THIN</p><p><br /></p><p>The letters on the left are too damaged to read. The 2nd word I guess could be captain??? It may be a specific lodge name, a specific office, a degree of that lodge, or a location? Am including an edited version that isn't much different or better than Dave's.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]64628[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
