Hi Brian,
Thank you so much for the outstanding explanation on that. I suspected this was your course but wanted to be sure, and now that you explain the perspective it makes perfect sense. Nicely done

!!
I cannot even imagine the prices being paid for these weapons these days!!Thats why I'm just a researcher!!

Jens,
I'm with you on the bidding level where my card would have hit the floor.
I think your idea on the marking is on target, and perhaps we need to find other items used by Charles I that might reflect similar markings.

All the best,
Jim
