    I would guess that would be initials of an owners name. But just a guess. Looks like HNH and maybe another letter like k over the top?

    Thanks, SIS!

    I've always liked the look of these monograms, but now that we're looking a one, can anyone tell me how to read them? is the largest the last? the N and K are both in front of and behind the H.

    Thanks for the comments, but i cant find the connection of these initials.
    The previous owner didnt had any of these letters in his name and none of his relatives too, any other idea what it could mean?
