For all I know, it&#039;s a crown style for others as well. I just found that intriguing. I could suss out a M or L in that monogram if I tried, but that could be the pareidolia talking lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would look at more Austrian/HRE arms and coronets but I&#039;m getting cross-eyed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie55" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
