Hi Michael.
Thank you very much. There were a few axes in his collection, too and perhaps that is where I have the vague recollection of seeing something like those stars/flowers. There were so many pieces, so little time and so much information to pour over that, at my age, the ram seems to be full and I have to flush the cache every once in a while to add more information. The nudge is appreciated!
